Stepping into the exciting world of online casinos doesn't have to be a costly affair. Thanks to the rise of 5 dollar deposit casinos in Canada, you can start betting and winning with a modest budget. These casinos, which have rapidly become a favourite among both new and experienced players alike, allow you to deposit a mere $5 and start playing.

This is a far cry from the hefty minimum deposits required by many traditional online casinos, making iGaming more accessible to all. So whether you're a budget-conscious beginner looking to dip your toes into the thrilling waters of online gambling or a seasoned player seeking a cost-effective gaming option, a $5 deposit online casino could be your perfect match.

Advantages of 5$ Deposit Online Casinos

Aside from being kind to your wallet, online casinos that accept $5 deposits bring a whole host of benefits. For starters, they give you the chance to experience the rush of real money gaming without burning a hole in your pocket. By lowering the barriers to entry, these casinos are making online gaming more accessible to a broader audience. Now, anyone can join the high rollers' club, even on a shoestring budget!

Another major advantage is the opportunity to explore a variety of games. At a 5 dollar deposit casino, you can try out a plethora of slots, table games, and even live dealer options. This way, you can find your favourite games and hone your skills without putting significant money at risk. It's a win-win situation: you get the thrill of playing for real money and the peace of mind knowing you're not risking much.

Let's not forget the attractive bonuses and promotions on offer. Many $5 deposit casinos come with generous welcome bonuses, free spins, and other perks to enhance your gaming experience. So not only do you get to play more for less, but you also stand a chance to win big!

Last but not least, these casinos also tend to have an excellent customer service. As they cater to a diverse pool of players, they understand the importance of providing prompt and friendly customer support. So should you encounter any issues or have any queries, you can expect quick and helpful responses.

In a nutshell, online casinos that accept $5 deposits are a fantastic way to enjoy the thrill of gambling without splashing the cash. They're the perfect example of 'more bang for your buck', delivering a high-quality gaming experience at an affordable price!

Possible Limitations

While the low-stakes thrill of casinos minimum deposit 5 is undoubtedly appealing, it's not entirely free of potential pitfalls. One prominent concern is the limited range of games available. Typically, high roller games and live dealer games might be out of bounds for minimum deposit players. Additionally, the potential winnings are often not as significant as when you gamble with a sizable bankroll.

Another limitation lies in the withdrawal terms and conditions. Some online casinos have a higher minimum withdrawal limit than the deposit limit. In such cases, you might need to win a fair bit before you can actually cash out your earnings. Lastly, some casinos might exclude low depositors from attractive promotional offers and bonuses.

Comparison Between Minimum Deposit and Regular Online Casinos

Contrasting 5$ deposit casinos with their regular counterparts reveals a realm of differences. Regular online casinos often demand a hefty initial deposit, thus deterring casual gamers or those with a tight budget. On the contrary, minimum deposit casinos provide an affordable entry point into the exciting world of online gambling.

However, regular online casinos often offer a broader range of games and higher potential winnings. They're also likely to provide more lucrative bonus offers, catering to a gambler looking for substantial profits. Payment methods may also be more diverse, with options like secure eChecks available.

Popular 5$ Deposit Online Casinos and their Features

Among the casinos minimum deposit 5, several stand out for their features and popularity. The likes of Jackpot City, Captain Cooks Casino, and Zodiac Casino have carved a niche for themselves. They offer a variety of games, from slot machines to blackjack, catering to a wide audience.

These casinos are known for their user-friendly interfaces, variety of payment methods, and robust customer support. Additionally, they provide exciting bonuses and promotional offers, making them even more attractive for budget-conscious gamblers.

How to Make the Most out of 5$ Casino Deposit

To get the best value from your minimum deposit, it's crucial to approach it with a strategic mindset. Firstly, familiarize yourself with the casino's game selection and find games with the lowest house edge. These games give you a higher chance of winning, allowing you to stretch your bankroll further.

Next, keep an eye out for bonuses. Many 5$ deposit casinos offer welcome bonuses or free spins, which can significantly boost your playing potential. Lastly, be sure to manage your bankroll wisely. While the excitement of a winning streak can be intoxicating, remember to gamble responsibly and know when to stop.

Conclusion

Ultimately, whether a 5$ deposit online casino is the right fit for you depends on your gaming preferences and budget. If you're seeking a low-risk, budget-friendly gaming platform, then these casinos could be the perfect fit. 

However, if you're in pursuit of higher winnings and a wider game variety, you may need to consider regular online casinos. Either way, remember to read the terms and conditions carefully, gamble responsibly, and most importantly, have fun!

If you are a regular visitor at Notinhalloffame.com, you know that we created the Notinhalloffame NHL Cup, where in every regular season game, we award points (5-4-3-2-1) to the top five performers.  This is the third year that we have done this, and Edmonton’s Connor McDavid won the first two.

To keep everyone regularly in the loop this time, we have decided to give regular updates, starting at Thanksgiving, and tell all of you the top ten.  We will be doing updates every Wednesday.

Here is the seventh current top ten in Notinhalloffame Cup Points:

1. David Pastrnak, Boston Bruins. 93 Cup Points:  46 Games, 30 G, 37 A, 67 P, +12, 8.4 PS. (#1 Last Week)

The Boston Bruins (like last year) have been the best team early in the season, and it is the Czech Republic’s David Pastrnak who has led their offensive threat.  He is the league-leader in Shots (233), is third in Points (67), fourth in Goals (30) and Point Shares (8.4) and ninth in Assists (37) and is Boston’s leading scorer, and is in the top ten in most essential offensive categories.  Could he win his first Hart, but if not, maybe his first NIHOF Cup?   

2. Nikita Kucherov, Tampa Bay Lightning.  84 Cup Points, 47 Games, 31 G, 49 A, 80 P, +1, 9.2 PS.  (#2 Last Week)

Kucherov is in his tenth season in Tampa, and is putting forth a season that could gain him another Hart or Art Ross Trophy.  He is leading the NHL in Points (80) and is second in Assists (49) and third in Goals (31).  It is a minor surprise that he is not first in Cup Points, but he is close.

3.  Auston Matthews, Toronto Maple Leafs, 79 Cup Points:  44 Games, 38 G, 18 A, 56 P, +12, 7.8 PS. (#3 Last Week)

The American sniper is back as the league’s top goal-scorer, holding the lead in that (36) and Even-Strength Goals (29).  If he holds that, Matthews will win his third Rocket Richard Trophy, though Kucherov is closing in fast.

4.  Nathan MacKinnon, Colorado Avalanche, 69 Cup Points:  47 Games, 26 G, 51 A, 77 P, +13, 8.4 PS. (#5 Last Week)

Mackinnon remains the league-leader in Assists (51), is second in Points (77) and ninth in Goals (26).  He is also second in Shots (213) and third in Point Shares (8.4).

5 (TIE). Juuse Saros, Nashville Predators, 68 Cup Points:  37 Games, 18-18-1 Record, 2.94 GAA, .904 Save Percentage, 6.0 PS.  (Not Ranked in the Top Ten Last Week)

Saros comes back to the top ten, and does so with an even Won/Loss record.  A surprise to be here (like he was before), Saros is a workhorse who is third in Minutes Played (2,081) and fourth in Saves (946) and is sixth in Goalie Point Shares.  He is not the best Goalie this season, but here he is.  That is the way Cup Points can work.

5 (TIE). Artemi Panarin, New York Rangers, 68 Cup Points:  47 Games, 29 G, 34 A, 63 P, -3, 7.4 PS.  (Not Ranked in the Top Ten Last Week)

Panarin is back where he belongs in the top ten, and let’s see if he falls off again.  Currently, he is fourth in Points (63), fifth in Goals (29) and tenth in Assist (63).

7. Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers, 67 Cup Points: 41 Games, 17 G, 43 A, 60 P, +13, 6.4 PS.  (#4 Last Week)

The Edmonton Oilers began the year as a disappointment, but they have been on fire as of late.  McDavid has not been lighting the lamp like he did last year, but he has however been a great playmaker, and is fifth in Assists (43) and eighth in Points (60).  Can he make it back to the top of the mountain and win the NIHOF Cup again?

8. Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins, 67 Cup Points:  44 Games, 27 G, 21 A, 48 P, +18, 6.4 PS.  (#5 Last Week)

We have to admit we are happy to see Sidney Crosby in the top ten, as even though “Sid the Kid” is over 35, we are still talking about a legend!  Crosby is seventh in Goals (27) and second in Even Strength Goals (21) as of this writing.

9. (TIE). Sam Reinhart, Florida Panthers, 66 Cup Points:  46 Games, 34 G, 24 A, 58 P, +14, 8.0 PS.  (#7 Last Week)

Currently having the best year of his life, Reinhart is the current leader in Power Play Goals (17), and Shooting Percentage (26.8), and is also second in Goals (34), fifth in Point Shares (8.0), and tenth in Points (58).  Historically a good player, Reinhart has never had a first half like this before.

9 (TIE). Thatcher Demko, Vancouver Canucks, 66 Cup Points:  34 Games, 25-8-1 Record, 2.40 GAA, .922 Save Percentage, 7.8 PS.  (Not Ranked in the Top Ten Last Week)

Like Saros, Demko makes his top ten return, and he takes the place of Elias Pettersson to give the Canucks a top ten player.  He is the NHL leader in Wins (25) and Shutouts (5), and is sixth in both Goals Against Average (2.40) and Save Percentage (.922).

9 (TIE). Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg Jets, 66 Cup Points:  34 Games, 23-8-3 Record, 2.17 GAA, .925 Save Percentage, 7.9 PS.  (Not Ranked in the Top Ten Last Week)

Hellebucyk is in the top ten for the first time, and the former Vezina Trophy winner is leading the league in Goalie Point Shares with 7.9.  The Winnipeg Jet is second in GAA (2.17) and third in Save Percentage (.925).

Colorado’s Mikko Rantanen, Nashville’s Filip Forsberg and Vancouver’s Elias Pettersson fell out of the top ten.

Our next update will be next Wednesday.

If you are a regular visitor at Notinhalloffame.com, you know that we created the Notinhalloffame NBA Cup, where in every regular season game, we award points (5-4-3-2-1) to the top five performers.  This is the fourth year that we have done this, and Denver’s Nikola Jokic winning the first two, and Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers winning last year.

To keep everyone regularly in the loop this time, we have decided to give regular updates, starting at Thanksgiving.  We will update this every Wednesday.

Here is the current top ten:

1. Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets, 179 Cup Points, 44 Games, 4.07 Cup Points per Game, 26.2, PPG, 12.0 RPG, 9.1 APG, 1.1 SPG, 0.9 BPG, 32.2 PER, 9.7 WS.  Last Week, #1.

Last year, Jokic became an NBA Champion and a Finals MVP and shook off what some may have perceived as an MVP snub.  At present, the Joker is leading the NBA in Win Shares (9.7), Offensive Win Shares (7.2) Box Plus/Minus (14.4), Offensive Box Plus/Minus (9.9), Defensive Box Plus/Minus (4.4), VORP (6.2) and Triple Doubles (13).  He is also second in PER (32.2), and fourth in Assists per Game (9.1) and Rebounds per Game (12.0).  Jokic also was named the November Player of the Month, which is his seventh overall.  While Jokic’s top spot was in peril a few weeks ago, he has added to his lead since.

2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder, 171 Cup Points:  42 Games, 4.07 Cup Points Per Game, 31.1 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 6.4 APG, 2.3 SPG, 0.8 BPG, 30.5 PER, 8.9 WS.  Last Week #2.

Gilgeous-Alexander broke through to the upper-tier last season, and he is proving that this was no fluke.  He is leading the NBA in Steals per Game (2.3), Steals (96), Points (1,307), is second in Win Shares (8.9) and VORP (3.6), third in PER (30.5), and Box Plus/Minus (9.8) and is fourth in Points per Game (31.1).  The Canadian is now an MVP contender, and could join Steve Nash in that exclusive club.  Even if he doesn’t this year, SGA added his first Player of the Month Award in December.

3. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks, 168 Cup Points:  41 Games, 4.10 Cup Points per Game, 31.2 PPG, 11.5 RPG, 6.1 APG, 1.4 SPG, 1.1 BPG, 29.5 PER, 7.0 WS.  Last Week, #2.

The two-time MVP has never had a better supporting cast than he does now, and he is responding by doing what he always does: dominate.  Antetokounmpo, however has slightly less metrics than previous years, but the arrival of Damian Lillard means he does not have to always carry the load.  The December Eastern Conference Player of the Month is third in Points per Game (31.2), sixth in Rebounds per Game (11.5), and is the league-leader in Field Goals (47). 

4. Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers, 146 Cup Points, 32 Games, 4.56 Cup Points per Game, 36.1, PPG, 11.6 RPG, 5.9 APG, 1.1 SPG, 2.0 BPG, 35.6 PER, 7.3 WS.  (Last Week #6)

Embiid is the reigning MVP, NIHOF Cup Winner, and two-time scoring champion, and he is currently leading the NBA in scoring again (36.1).  The 76er is also first in Usage Percentage (39.0), and PER (35.6), and is in the top ten in Rebounds and Blocks per Game.  Embiid has missed a few games earlier in the season, which has caused his drop on the list.  Had he been healthy, he might be #1, but he is number one by far in Cup Points per Game.

5. Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics, 144 Cup Points:  41 Games, 3.51 Cup Points per Game, 27.0 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 4.4 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 21.6 PER, 5.4 WS.  Last Week #4.

Tatum begins the year the way he ended the last one: an MVP contender on a power team.  He has already a nabbed a Player of the Week Award, is eighth in PPG (27.0) and is poised to take the Celtics on his back to a title.

6. Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks, 142 Cup Points:  36 Games, 3.94 Cup Points per Game, 33.6 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 9.3 APG, 1.4 SPG, 0.6 BPG, 27.6 PER, 5.5 WS.  Last Week #4.

Doncic is on a four-year streak of First Team All-NBA stars, and he is on pace to add a fifth.  Hs is second in Points per Game (33.6), third in Assists per Game (9.3), ninth in Steals per Game (1.4), and is in the top five in PER (27.6), Box Plus/Minus (9.6), and VORP (3.9).

7. Anthony Davis, Los Angeles Lakers, 138 Cup Points:  43 Games, 3.25 Cup Points per Game, 25.0 PPG, 12.2 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.2 SPG, 2.5 BPG, 25.8 PER, 6.8 WS.  (#8 Last Week)

Davis is currently third in Rebounds per Game (12.2), and is the healthiest he has been in years.   He is also fifth in Blocks per Game (2.5), seventh in PER (25.8) and fifth in Win Shares (6.8). 

8. Julius Randle, New York Knicks, 137 Cup Points:  44 Games, 3.05 Cup Points per Game, 24.2 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 5.0 APG, 0.6 SPG, 0.3 BPG, 18.6 PER, 3.8 WS. (#9 Last Week)

Randle moved up one spot, though he is not in the top ten in any major category.

9. Domantas Sabonis, Sacramento Kings, 136 Cup Points:  42 Games, 3.22 Cup Points per Game, 20.0 PPG, 12.8 RPG, 7.9 APG, 0.8 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 22.9 PER, 6.2 WS. (#7 Last Week)

Sabonis is the current rebounding leader (12.7).  The Sacramento King is also first in Rebounds (538), Defensive Rebounds (402), and is seventh in Assists per Game (7.9), and is the top ten in VORP (2.9) and Box Plus/Minus (5.9).

10. Kevin Durant, Phoenix Suns, 131 Cup Points:  36 Games, 3.64 Cup Points Per Game, 29.6 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 5.6 APG, 0.9 SPG, 1.2 BPG, 24.1 PER, 5.0 WS.  (#10 Last Week).

Durant remains a superstar and when he is healthy, he is among the best in the world.  KD is scoring as good as always, but the chemistry in Phoenix is not there and we are seeing the same pattern that we have seen before.  He is still an All-Star, a first-ballot Hall of Fame entrant, but does he make teams better?  Lately, no.

The Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James again fell out of the top ten.

Our next update will be up on next Wednesday.

The Hall of Fame season is in full swing as the Baseball Hall of Fame vote has been tabulated and we have three new inductees who were voted in by the writers.  Adrian Beltre, Todd Helton and Joe Mauer will become enshrined in the most prestigious sports hall of fame this summer, and we are thrilled that we have a large class.  They will join Jim Leyland, who was inducted by the Veteran’s Committee.

The inductees:

Adrian Beltre: 95.1% on his first ballot.  The Third Baseman was considered by everyone to be a first ballot lock, and today the Dominican made that projection come true.  He brings to Cooperstown a resume that had 3,166 Hits, 487 Home Runs, 1,707 RBIs, five Gold Gloves, four Silver Sluggers, five Gold Gloves and two Platinum Gloves.  Playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seattle, Boston and Texas, Beltre was never an MVP but finished in the top ten five times.  Amazingly, Beltre did not really look like a Hall of Fame possibility until he was past 30, as his second half eclipsed his first.

Todd Helton: 79.7% on his fifth ballot.   Helton jumped from 52.0 from last year, and came a long way from the 16.5% from year one.  He enjoyed the entirety of his career with the Colorado Rockies, where he smacked 369 Home Runs with 2,519 Hits and 1,405 RBIs.  Finishing his career as a member of the lifetime 3/4/5 club (.316/.414/.539), went to five All-Star Games, won three Gold Gloves, four Silver Sluggers and owns a Batting Title.  He joins Larry Walker in joining Cooperstown while donning the “CR”. 

Joe Mauer:  76.1% on his first ballot.  Mauer’s election gives us two first ballot inductees, but unlike Beltre, Mauer’s Cooperstown career was spent with one team, Minnesota.  One of the best hitting Catchers of all-time, Mauer won the MVP in 2009 in the season he won his third Batting Title.  Mauer was. Six-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger and three-time Gold Glove winner.  He recorded 2,123 Hits with a lifetime .306 Batting Average.  He is a minor surprise to make it as a first ballot entry.

Failing to make the Baseball Hall of Fame were:

Billy Wagner: 73.8% on his eighth ballot.  Wagner fell five votes shy of the Hall, but momentum is certainly on his side, even though there are only two years left of eligibility.  This is phenomenal progress for a player who was under 20% in his first four years.  With 422 career Saves (6^th all-time), Wagner was a seven-time All-Star with a lifetime ERA of 2.31 and WHIP of 0.998. 

Gary Sheffield: 63.9% on his tenth and final ballot.   It is off to the Veteran’s Committee for Sheffield, and while that worked for Fred McGriff, this might not be the case for Sheffield who was suspected of PED use.  Sheffield’s numbers are overall better than McGriff, with 509 Home Runs, 1,676 RBIs, 253 Stolen Bases and a Slash Line of .292/.393/.514.  Chalk “Shef” as a member of the all Non-Cooperstown team.

Andruw Jones: 61.6% on his seventh ballot.  Jones has a unique resume with 434 Home Runs and 19 Gold Gloves, and when you throw in five All-Stars and a Major League Player of the Year Award, this is a player who feels like he should be in already.  He only moved up 3.5% from last year, but Jones has come a long way from his first two years where he was just hanging on with over 7%. 

Carlos Beltran: 57.1% on his second ballot.  Had it not been for the sign-stealing scandal in his final, and World Series winning year, Beltran would have probably been a first ballot inductee.  He has the stats for it with 2,625 Hits, 435 Home Runs, 1,578 RBIs and 312 Stolen Bases, and the accoladed (nine All-Stars, two Silver Sluggers and three Gold Gloves, but this is a message by the voting body.  He moved up 10.5% from last year, and he will get in eventually.

Alex Rodriguez:  34.8% on his third ballot.  Nobody had a better resume on this ballot than A-Rod.  Three MVPs, 10 Silver Sluggers, 696 Home Runs, 3,115 Hits, 2,021 Runs and 2,086 RBIs dwarves what many Cooperstown inductee have, but so does one other stat:  two PED suspensions.  You would think that Rodriguez’s work on Fox might show that he is forgiven, but clearly, he isn’t.  His total went down from 35.7 in 2023, and why should we think anything will change for him moving forward?

Manny Ramirez:  32.5% on his eighth ballot.  Like Rodriguez, Ramirez should be in the Hall.  Owning a lifetime Slash Line of .312/.411/.585, 555 Home Runs, 1,831 RBIs, 12 All-Stars and nine Silver Sluggers, Ramirez was the catalyst of Boston’s two World Series Championships in the 2000s.  However, again like A-Rod, Man-Ram was also popped for PEDs twice.  He also dropped from last year, descending .7%. 

Chase Utley: 28.8 on his first ballot.  A six-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger, Utley’s strength lies on his sabermetrics (64.5 bWAR) and a 28.8 debut is a lot better than what Helton got.  This is not a bat start.

Omar Vizquel:  17.7% on his seventh ballot.  Ob boy.  Vizquel was on track for the Hall.  Voters loved his defense (11 Gold Gloves), and though he was a light hitter, he stayed around so long that he accumulated 2,877 Hits.  He had 37.0 percent on his first ballot, and reached 52.6 in year three.  However, he dropped to 49.1, as while votes were submitted, domestic allegations emerged.  As they were credible, he plummeted to 23.9 in 2022, and has trended downward with 19.5 in 2023 and his now new low of 17.7.  Here is another number.  0.0.  Those are his Hall of Fame chances.

Jimmy Rollins:  14.8% on his third ballot.  Inching up from 12.9 %, Rollins is a former MVP and World Series winner with Philadelphia and had 2,455 Hits with 231 Home Runs.  The Shortstop also went to three All-Star Games and won four Gold Gloves.

Bobby Abreu:  14.8% on his fifth ballot.  Abreu reminds surprisingly low as his 60.2 bWAR puts him in line with others in the Hall.  Throw in 2,460 Hits, 288 HR, and a lifetime OBP of .395, he has the credentials, but he was only an All-Star twice and never sought attention.  Abreu fell 0.6% from last year.

Andy Pettitte:  13.5% on his sixth ballot.  Pettitte had a career record of 256 and 153 with 2,448 Strikeouts, three All-Stars and five World Series rings.  The latter credential, and his performance in them should put him much higher, but Pettitte is an admitted PED user.  That is probably enough for a lot of voters to pass on him. 

Mark Buehrle:  8.3% on his fourth ballot. The five-time All-Star and World Series Champion with the Chicago White Sox had 214 Wins but only had one year where he received Cy Young votes.  The Pitcher dropped from 10.8%, and is treading water at this point.

Francisco Rodriguez:  7.8% on his second ballot.  Rodriguez has 437 Saves, five All-Stars and is best known for exploding out of the gate leading the Angels to their first World Series Championship.  He had a disappointing drop from 10.8 on year two.

Torii Hunter:  7.3% on his fourth ballot.  Hunter hangs on for life, but has never broke double-digits, and is down from year one’s number of 9.5%.  He was a five-time All-Star, nine-time Gold Glove winner and two-time Silver Slugger with a 50.7 bWAR, 353 Home Runs and 1,391 RBIs. 

David Wright: 6.2% on his 1^st ballot.  Wright loves to fight another day, but it won’t get easier going forward.  The career Met went to seven All-Star Games and won two Gold Gloves and two Silver Sluggers, but faces a tall order to enter the Hall.  We do think he should be honored by New York as soon as possible.

Falling off of the ballot:

Jose Bautista:  1.6% on his first, only and last ballot.  Bautista entered the Blue Jays Ring of Excellence last year, but this Hall will elude the former slugger.  He blasted 344 Home Runs, won three Silver Sluggers and went to five All-Star Games.

Victor Martinez:  1.6% on his first, only and last ballot.  Martinez exits on his first try after a five All-Stars, two Silver Sluggers and 295 Home Runs.

Bartolo Colon:  1.3% on his first, only and last ballot.  The big man had a disappointing showing considering he won 247 Games and a Cy Young, but as popular as he was, he was suspended for PEDs.  That still seems weird, doesn’t it?

Matt Holliday:  1.0% on his first, only and last ballot.  The Outfielder won a World Series with St. Louis in 2011, and was a seven-time All-Star.  He also won a Batting Title, NLCS MVP and four Silver Sluggers.

Adrian Gonzalez:  0.8% on his first, only and last ballot.  Gonzalez had a good career with five All-Stars, four Gold Gloves, two Silver Sluggers and 317 Home Runs.

Brandon Phillips:  0.3% on his first, only and last ballot.  Phillips received a single vote after a nice career that saw him belt 211 Home Runs with 2,029 Hits.

Jose Reyes:  0.0% on his first, only and last ballot.  Reyes had a good career, but it had its share of controversies that likely cost him from receiving a vote.  When we get around to the dream team of players who were shutout does Reyes belong on it?  2,138 Hits, a Batting Title and 517 SB tells us he might.

James Shields:  0.0% on his first, only and last ballot.  While he received no votes, he belonged on the ballot with a respectable 145 Wins and 2,234 Strikeouts.

We will now begin work on revising the Notinhallofame.com Baseball List of those to consider for the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Look for that later next month.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the impending members of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
