The 1964 Hockey HOF Class is up

Well, you have seen us grow our site with the addition of existing Hockey Hall of Fame inductees. So far, we have tackled the stars inducted up until 1963, so we move to the Class of 1964 which foreshadows how future Classes would look like. The streamlined class of 1964 includes:

Babe Siebert

Bill Durnan

Doug Bentley

Frank Dilio

Jack Stewart


Gang you know the drill. Check it out, and cast your votes and let us know whether you think they deserved their Hall of Fame induction. Look for upcoming classes soon!

Matt Birk Retires

Amidst the hoopla that surrounded Ray Lewis’ retirement with the Super Bowl Champion, Baltimore Ravens, another potential Hall of Fame entry has announced that he is calling it a career. Center, Matt Birk has ended his career at the age of 36, and has done so as a Champion. Birk was a six time Pro Bowl Selection, all of which occurred while he was a member of a Minnesota Vikings. Birk was also considered one of the “good guys” of the game, as he was named in 2011 as the Walter Payton Man of the Year, which honoured his community service. We thank Matt Birk for his years in the NFL, and we now wonder aloud about his Hall of Fame potential.

Carlos Baerga to the Cleveland Indians HOF

The Cleveland Indians have announced that they will be adding two new members to their team’s Hall of Fame.

The first is Carlos Baerga who was with the Tribe from 1990 to 1996 and for a second run in 1999. It was in his first run in Cleveland that Baerga was at his best, as he was an All Star three times. Twice he would have a 200 hit/100 RBI campaign and he would have a .300+ Batting Average four campaigns in a row. The Second Basemen played for many other teams, but he ever came close to the numbers he put while in Cleveland.

Former General Manager, John Hart has also been selected. Under his tenure, the Indians won six American League Central Titles and enjoyed their greatest period of success in years. We congratulate both for their achievements.    

Chipper Jones #10 Retired

As many of you know, Chipper Jones ended his acclaimed career at the end of the 2012 Major League Baseball season, which essentially marked the countdown to his Cooperstown induction speech. The team that he spent his entire career with, the Atlanta Braves has decided to honor him right away.

The Braves have announced that they will induct Chipper Jones into their Hall of Fame and bestow upon him the ultimate accolade of retiring his number 10. Jones will be joining Dale Murphy (3), Bobby Cox (6), Warren Spahn (21), John Smoltz (29), Greg Maddux (31), Phil Niekro (35), Eddie Mathews (41), Hank Aaron (44) and Tom Glavine (47).

Chipper Jones retired with a career .303 Batting Average and 468 Home Runs over 19 seasons. We congratulate Chipper on this accomplishment and look forward to seeing the footage from the ceremony.
