Just you because they were your former teammate it does not mean that you automatically think that they should be in the Hall of Fame.
That is what we learned from former New York Yankee, Jorge Posada, who was an All Star Catcher and former teammate of Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens, the latter of which has been on the Hall of Fame ballot for a few years and is not expected to enter Cooperstown based on the support he has received thus far.
Posada was not ambiguous when asked on CBS whether A-Rod or Clemens should be in the Hall as his answer was “No…I don’t think it’s fair”. This was also a stance that will be echoed in his book, which he has been promoting nationally.
While, the former baseball player was clear on his opinion, there did not appear to be any overt hostility towards the men he shared a World Series Championship with.

A major, though expected retirement has taken place in the world of Football as Ed Reed has called it a career. The former Safety returned to sign a one day contract with the Baltimore Ravens so that he could retire with the team where he had his greatest success.
Reed was drafted in the first round by Baltimore in 2002 and immediately was inserted into the starting line-up. He would quickly become a part of a potent Ravens defence and in his second year, he would be named to the Pro Bowl, the first of nine times he would receive such an honor. 2004 would see him reach an even greater height as not only did he make his first of five First Team All Pro squads and was named the AP Defensive Player of the Year. He led the National Football League in Interceptions and Interception Return Yards that year, and would again lead the NFL in picks in 2008 and 2010. Reed would also be named to the 2000’s All-Decade Team and was named the NFL Alumni Defensive Back of the Year twice.
While Reed would collect individual accolades in the 2000’s, it was in the 2012 season that he would become a Super Bowl Champion with the Ravens, his last game with the club. Reed would spend another year in the NFL with Houston Texans and New York Jets but would not play with any team in 2014, though was not retired from the game until today’s announcement.
Reed retires with 64 Interceptions and 1,590 Interception Return Yards, the latter statistic making him the all time leader in that category. Once eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we here at Notinhalloffame.com will rank Ed Reed very high, and we expect him to get inducted into Canton quickly.
