It was not that long ago that we revamped our Basketball section and named Allen Iverson as our new number one player who should be considered for the Basketball Hall of Fame.  Following this, we endeavored to work on our futures section and update them accordingly.

As such, we are pleased to present to you the men who are now part of our updated Basketball Futures Section who will be eligible in 2020

Antawn Jamison, a star at UNC and a two time NBA All Star as well as a former Sixth Man of the Year.

Chauncey Billups, who was the leader of the shocking 2004 Detroit Pistons Championship win and the MVP of that series.

Jermaine O’Neal, a six time All Star and three time post season All NBA selection.

Josh Howard, a one time NBA All Star. 

Rashard Lewis, a two time NBA All Star and NBA Champion with the Miami Heat in 2013.

Ray Allen, one of the sweetest shooters of all time who holds the three point record in the NBA.

Steve Nash, the Canadian who is a two time National Basketball Association MVP. 

World Metta Peace, the former Ron Artest and one time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

We think you know what we want you to do!

Take a look at this group of basketball players who will be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2020 and let us know if any of them Hall of Famers.





We here at Notinhalloffame.com have been very open about our admiration for the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame, which has not been in existence for long.  In a brief amount of time, the Cardinals have embraced their history and have made their HOF an envy of most of the Baseball teams in MLB.

As such it is with great delight that we speak of the Redbirds official inauguration of their latest Hall of Fame Class.

In our eyes, the headliner of this year’s class is Catcher, Ted Simmons, who spent thirteen years with them and made six All Star Teams while there.  Simmons would belt 1,704 Hits, with 172 Home Runs, a .298/.366/.459 Slash Line and a bWAR of 44.8 as a Cardinal.

Simmons is joined by Curt Flood, the man who challenged the reserve clause and ushered in Free Agency in Major League Baseball.  While Flood did not profit from what he accomplished, as a Cardinal he would lead the National League in Hits in 1964, was a seven time Gold Glove recipient and was a three time All Star.  He would smack 1,853 Hits with a 42.2 bWAR in St. Louis.

Bob Forsch was also inducted.  Forsch spent fifteen seasons in St. Louis where the hurler posted a 163 and 127 record with 1,079 Strikeouts and a bWAR of 21.5.  Forsch was also a two time Silver Slugger winner.

This group is joined by George Kissell, a long time executive within the Cardinals organization.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com congratulate the Cardinals and this group of inductees to what is becoming a very prestigious Hall of Fame.





Over the last few months, we here at Notinhalloffame.com have been so focused on other endeavors at the site, that we neglected to tell you about the continuing opportunity fro you to cast your opinion on existing Hockey Hall of Famers.

With that in mind, we here at Notinhhalloffame.com have expended greatly to allow you to vote on Hockey Hall of Fame inductees from 1996-98.

The Players/Builders from that existing time frame include:

The 1996 Hockey Hall of Fame Class:

Al Arbour, the Head Coach of the New York Islanders dynasty.

Bobby Bauer, a three time Lady Byng winner and two time Stanley Cup winner with the Boston Bruins. 

Borje Salming, a star Defenceman from Sweden who was known for his play with the Toronto Maple Leafs

The 1997 Hockey Hall of Fame Class:

Glen Sather, the Head Coach and pseudo-architect of the Edmonton Oilers dynasty.

Monsignor Athol Murray, who helped developed amateur hockey in Saskatchewan.

Peter Stastny, the Czechoslovakian born forward who became a six time All Star with the Quebec Nordiques.

Roy Conacher, a two time Stanley Cup Champion with the Boston Bruins and a former Art Ross Trophy winner.

I think you know what we are looking for you to do!

When your time permits, take a look at this group and let us know if their Hall of Fame inductions are justified!

Yesterday, the Baltimore Orioles officially inducted four new members to their Hall of Fame.

Two time All Star selection, Melvin Mora, was a very flexible player who played Third Base, Shortstop and Outfield for the Orioles.  The Venezuelan had his best season in 2004, where he won the Silver Slugger Award and led the American League in On Base Percentage.  Mora’s overall Oriole career saw him smack 1,323 Hits, 158 Home Runs, a .280/.355/.438 Slash Line with a 29.0 bWAR.

Mora is joined by Gary Roenicke who played Outfield for Baltimore from 1978 to 1985.  Roenicke played for the 1983 World Series Championship Team and had 555 Hits with 106 Home Runs and a 15.7 bWAR.

The third player inducted is John Lowenstein, who played in the outfield for Baltimore for seven of his sixteen Major League Seasons.  Lowenstein was another member of the ’83 World Series Team and had 428 Hits with a bWAR of 7.0 while playing there.

Longtime Scout and Executive, Fred Uhlman Sr. was also chosen.

The Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame first took shape in 1977 inducting Frank Robinson and Brooks Robinson and focuses only on the franchise’s time in Baltimore and not their time as the St. Louis Browns. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the Baltimore Orioles and their newest Hall of Fame Class.
