The St. Louis Cardinals Announce their 2017 HOF Class
Apr 29, 2017

Not in Hall of Fame News
We have said before that the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame has quickly become one of our favorite franchise Halls.
Today they added to it as three former St. Louis Cardinals, Mark McGwire, Pepper Martin and Tim McCarver have been chosen.
Traded from the Oakland Athletics midway through 1997, Mark McGwire brought an even bigger bat to the Midwest. In 1998, McGwire would set the new single season Home Run Record with 70, and followed it up with 65 the year after. In his four and a half seasons with St. Louis, he tallied 220 Home Runs with a 1.111 OPS.
Achieving more fame as a broadcaster, Tim McCarver was a Cardinal for twelve seasons. An All Star twice, McCarver helped St. Louis win the World Series in 1964 an d 1967 and would accumulate 1,029 Hits over his career with the Red Birds.
Like McCarver, Pepper Martin also helped St. Louis win two World Series Championships (1931 & 1934). A member of the famed “Gashouse Gang”, Martin was an All Star four times and led the National League in Stolen Bases three times.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the newest members of the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame.

The Wonders "Reunite"

For most people this isn’t news.
Of course, most people don’t own the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Last night at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, three of the four actors who portrayed “The Wonders” took to the stage and played their hit in both fiction and reality, “That Thing You Do”.
Present was Tom Everett Scott (Guy), Jonathan Schaech (Jimmy) and Ethan Embry (T.B. Player) and they donned matching white shirts and black ties. Scott, even put the shades back on for the impromptu reunion!
While most sites view this as a fluff piece, this is anything but to us!
We are a couple of weeks away from announcing our Semi-Finalists for the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Wonders have reached that level in both of the years of our Hall’s existence.
Does this “reunion” bode well for the Wonders making our Hall?

The Rock and Roll HOF Ceremony returns to Cleveland

Not in Hall of Fame News
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony of 2017 is in the books but that doesn’t mean that we can’t look forward to the 2018 version.
So far, we like what we see.
Cleveland will be the host of the ceremony, to be held at on April 18 at the Public Hall. It was last held there three years ago, a continuing pattern as it was also there in 2012 and 2009. HBO will again have the exclusive rights to broadcast the event.
Perhaps this will be the year that Notinhalloffame.com will attend!

Jake Long Retires

Another day and another significant retirement in the National Football League…
Jake Long, the #1 Draft Pick from 2008 has announced that he is calling it quits after a nine year career.
Chosen by the Miami Dolphins, Long quickly showed why he was the number one pick by being named a Pro Bowl Selection in his rookie year. He would continue to compete at that level over the next three years, and would go to the Pro Bowl four times overall. In 2010, Long would be named a First Team All Pro Selection.
Long would play 104 Games in the National Football League and is not likely to be considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame but he will be eligible for Canton in 2022.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Jake Long on a wonderful career and wish him the best in his post playing career.
