Former Football HOFers to have a say on who gets in?
Sep 27, 2015

Not in Hall of Fame News
The Pro Football Hall of Fame might just be mixing it up a bit.
Currently, a the 46 member selection committee is made up of a media member representing each NFL team, a member chosen by the Pro Football Writers of America and thirteen at large delegates.
According to Pro-Football Talk, this is about to change.
They have reported that there will be an announced change that will have modifications that would allow current Pro Football Hall of Fame members to be a part of the election process.
What those are?
At present, we have no idea, but it was implied that this change could take affect as soon as this or next year.
The question that we here at Notinhalloffame.com ask is two fold:
First, just how will this work and when will we find out?
Second, will it allow the football players similar power like past Baseball Players who are on the Veteran’s Committee who have inducted very few players into the Hall?
Either way, it will be interesting and we are eagerly awaiting to see what happens next!

Jason Richardson Retiring. HOF Credentials?

Jason Richardson has announced on his Facebook page that he will be calling it a career in Professional Basketball citing that he was choosing “his family and health” over the game.
Richardson was a star at Michigan State and as a freshman was part of the Spartans 2000 NCAA Championship. He would receive far more playing time the year after and would take them to another Final Four appearance, though Michigan State would not repeat as champions, though Richardson would be named First Team Big Ten.
The Shooting Guard would declare for the draft shortly thereafter and was selected fifth overall by the Golden State Warriors, and would quickly become a fan favorite with his dunks, energetic play and positive attitude. He would become a two-time Slam Dunk Champion, though that would be as far as he would go on NBA All Star Weekend as he was never named to an All Star Team Still as a Warrior, Jason Richardson had his best seasons where he would twice exceed 21 Points per Game and a PER over 19.
Richardson would make his way to Charlotte in the 2007-08 season and would lead the National Basketball Association in three point field goals, a statistic he is currently ranked sixteenth overall all time. Richardson would continue to play for Phoenix, Orlando and Philadelphia.
While Richardson would have a productive career, the fact that he is was never an All Star and never really played for a good team on the professional level makes it unlikely for him to reach the Pro Hall of Fame, though we do see him making the Notinhalloffame.com list for Basketball in the lower half.

Tim Hudson to retire. HOFer?
Sep 25, 2015

Not in Hall of Fame News
Tim Hudson has quietly announced that he will be retiring at this year’s baseball season.
The 40 year old San Francisco Giants Pitcher cited that “it was time” and he is currently holds the most Wins (222) of any active Pitcher. Hudson balances that out with only 132 Losses and currently has well over 2,000 career Strikeouts with a healthy 57.4 career bWAR.
Hudson broke in with the Oakland Athletics in 1999 and would have a very productive year in 2000 where he went 20 and 6, leading the American League in Wins and was the runner up for the Cy Young. He would continue to be a large part of the A’s success for the next few years and while he was not necessarily considered the elite, he was considered consistent and a high level second tier Pitcher.
Following his run in Oakland, he was traded to the Atlanta Braves prior to the 2005 season. Hudson would have some injury issues, but would rebound in 2009 and make his third All Star game.
Two years ago, Hudson signed with the San Francisco Giants and would make history as the oldest Pitcher to start a game in the World Series. He would also earn his first and only World Series Ring.
The impending retirement of Hudson raises the usual Hall of Fame question and if he is to get inducted it would have to be based on his strong bWAR, which is currently 66th overall for Pitchers and is higher than many existing Hall of Famers.
Hudson will be eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2021 and will be added when he add that section on Notinhalloffame.com.
In our eyes, Tim Hudson is a borderline Hall of Famer (perhaps closer to the wrong side) but will likely be on the Notinhalloffame Baseball list.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com look forward to see what will be next in the career of Tim Hudson.
