A look at Terrell Owens' HOF Snub

Last month, regular contributor, Spheniscus and I debated the Hall of Fame merits of those who were on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot.

Now that the Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2016 has announced their class has done the same.  We were hopeful to do this prior to the announcement of the actual inductees, but life, as it often does simply got in the way!

Pete Rose to the Hall of Fame...sort of.

We really love the idea of this one!

Soon to be located in Milwaukee, The Bobblehead Museum has announced that the bobblehead of Pete Rose, baseball’s all-time hit king will be the first inductee.  The vote was decided by an online poll.

Rose will be on hand for the ceremony at the Pabst Theatre and will participate in a Q&A session after. 

This appears to be a very fun project and perhaps we will make a pilgrimage there to see the vast collection that they are in the process of procuring.  This might be the most fun Hall of Fame ever…with the exception of our Fictitious Athlete and Fictitious Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, of course!

RIP: Keith Emerson

It was announced that Keith Emerson, from the successful Progressive Rock group, Emerson, Lake and Palmer passed away at the age of 71 due to a self-inflicted gunshot in his home in Santa Monica, California. 

Emerson was regarded as one of the best keyboardist player in rock and roll history, first as a member of the Nice, and then with ELP, the perfect vehicle for him (along with Greg Lake and Carl Palmer) to showcase his talent.  After a spectacular set at the Isle of Wight festival, ELP was signed with Atlantic and would put out three Prog Rock staples, Tarkus, Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery, all of which were considered classics in the relatively new genre.

ELP would continue to put out music and Emerson would embark on a solo career of his own.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and Family of Keith Emerson at this time.

RIP: Clyde Lovellette

It is another sad day in the basketball world as Clyde Lovellette has passed away at age 86 from cancer.

Lovellette was a star player for the Kansas Jayhawks and would take his team to the NCAA Championship in 1952 and was named the Most Outstanding Player in the tournament.  That year he would also be part of the United States win at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. 

He would join the Minneapolis Lakers in 1953 and in his rookie season was an NBA Champion, making him one of the few players in history to win the NCAA, NBA and Olympic Championships.  The big man would be a four time All Star and late in his career with the Boston Celtics would win two more NBA titles.

Lovellette would be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1988. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Clyde Lovellette at this time.
