Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Colorado Rockies.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Duration and Impact.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Rockies were the worst team in baseball and won only 43 Games.  Even though the team has not been around long, the Rockies’ awfulness last year meant no new entrants, though some active players moved within the list.

As always, we present our top five, which differs from last year's, due to the new algorithm.

1. Todd Helton
2. Larry Walker
3. Nolan Arenado
4. Troy Tulowitzki
5. Charlie Blackmon

You can find the entire list here.

With the new algorithm, Troy Tulowitzki and Charlie Blackmon flipped their respective #4 and #5 ranks.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

1993 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:

Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we treated the PFHOF as having its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the first 47 years.

For “1993,” a Preliminary Vote with over 100 players whose playing career ended by 1987. We also follow the structure in which players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.

A week later, voters will be asked to select 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, then choose five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process every week until we catch up to the current year.

Please note that a significant change occurred “years ago,” allowing voters to submit fewer than the allotted spots. 

31 Votes took place.

This is for the “Modern Era”

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Cleveland Guardians.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Duration and Impact.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Guardians were sellers at the trade deadline but got hot and shocked the baseball world by driving toward an AL Central Division Championship.  They fell to Detroit in the Wild Card, but considering where they were on August 1, this was a positive campaign for Cleveland. There were no new additions, but movement within the Top 50.

As always, we present our top five, which differs from last year's, both due to the new algorithm and to one active Guardian.

1. Bob Feller
2. Nap Lajoie
3. Tris Speaker
4. Jose Ramirez
5. Lou Boudreau

You can find the entire list https://www.notinhalloffame.com/baseball/top-50-baseball-players-by-franchise/top-50-cincinnati-reds">here.

Major changes were afoot among the top five, as the new algorithm flipped Bob Feller and Nap Lajoie from their previous #1 and #2 spots. 

Off the strength of another All-Star campaign, Jose Ramirez broke into the top five.  He was ranked at #7 last year.

The only other change among active Guardians players was the return of Carlos Santana, who rose from #41 to #37.  He is now with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

It was announced today that Sid Eudy will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Competing throughout the late 1980s to the early 2000s, Sid Eudy wrestled mainly in WWE and WCW, where he won numerous titles and headlined many pay-per-view events.

Gaining national prominence as one-half of the Skyscrapers (with Danny Spivey), the then-named Sid Vicious joined the Four Horsemen. With a look that seemed like it came from a monster movie.  In an era of big men, no other wrestler had a more imposing physique and facial look than Vicious, and of course, Vince McMahon wanted him for the WWE.  McMahon signed him in the summer of 1991, and while he headlined Wrestlemania VIII (wrestling as Sid Justice) in a disqualification loss to Hulk Hogan, he was gone less than a month later.

Sid returned to WCW, but that too was brief, as a scheduled push against WCW World Champion Vader was cut short when he attacked Arn Anderson with a pair of scissors.  That would have caused every promotion in the world to ban him, but a man who looked like Sid was money.  The WWE called him back in 1995, and 16 months later, he got hot and defeated Shawn Michaels at the 1996 Survivor Series for the WWF World Heavyweight Title.  He lost it back to Michaels at the ’97 Royal Rumble, but beat Bret Hart for his second title weeks later.  This led to Sid’s second WrestleMania main event, this time against the Undertaker, where he lost the belt.  Weeks later, he was gone again.

Sid returned to WCW in 1999, winning the WCW World Heavyweight Title, but in the first pay-per-view of 2001, he attempted a second rope kick, and when he landed on his other leg, it snapped both the tibia and fibula so badly that the injury was too graphic to replay afterward.  He rarely wrestled afterward, though he did come back to squash Heath Slater on Monday Night Raw in 2012. 

He passed away in 2024 due to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.  He was 63.

Sid joins Stephanie McMahon, A.J. Styles, Demolition, and Dennis Rodman in the Class of 2026.

Following WrestleMania, we will start updating our WWE Notinhalloffame Hall of Fame list.

We at Notinhalloffame would like to congratulate Sid Eudy’s family on this upcoming honor.
