Roberto Alomar to the Orioles HOF

Roberto Alomar recently entered the Baseball Hall of Fame, but he can add another accolade to his post playing career. Today, the Baltimore Orioles announced that Alomar will be the latest entrant to their team’s Hall. He had three All Star seasons with Baltimore from 1996 to 1998 and though it was only three seasons, he posted very good stats for the squad.
The Second Basemen had a .312 Batting Average for the Orioles scoring 282 Runs and winning two Gold Gloves. In that period, Alomar was able to help take Baltimore to two American League Championship Series.
The Orioles Hall of Fame…well is not exactly an exclusive group and there are few players in there who really aren’t Hall of Fame anything. Still, as we do here, anytime one of the big four North American Sports Teams elects someone to their respective Hall, it is news to us.
Tim Hudson to 200 Wins

It feels like we just discussed this topic. Like Roy Halladay did earlier in the season, Tim Hudson hit the 200 Win mark, which propelled baseball pundits to again ask if this plateau is considered Hall of Fame worthy. As we discussed with Halladay, the “Win” in baseball does not have the same lustre it used to, and it is a harder stat for starting pitchers to come by. Still, when someone hits that 200 mark, as Hudson just did, we have to ask if that hurler is a Hall of Fame pitcher or is he on his way.
Hudson might be Cooperstown bound, but unlike Halladay, we are not ready to pencil him in just yet. Although he has never won the Cy Young Award, he did finish in the top five three times, including the runner up slot in 2000. In seasons where he has been healthy, Hudson has frequently appeared in the top ten in major and sabremetrical categories showing a very consistent career. It may not be flashy, but it is a path that should put him in serious Cooperstown discussions.
We would like to congratulate Tim Hudson on achieving this statistical milestone, and we are sure he has more to come.
Football List Revised: Derrick Brooks #1

It is that time again here at Notinhalloffame.com where we take a look at the Football Hall of Fame, and have done our revisions for the New Year. Although, there are only four new entries making our list of 100, there is a change on the top of the rankings.
As much as we here at Notinhalloffame are major fans of the snubbed Offensive Lineman for the Green Bay Packers, Jerry Kramer, we have supplanted him as the number one selection for our list. In his place, is a first year candidate, Derrick Brooks, who we feel has all the credentials needed to take that slot, and will likely be a first ballot Hall of Fame entry.
Brooks was the defensive star for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2000’s, where the Right Linebacker made five First Team All Pro squads and was selected to eleven Pro Bowls. His best year was 2002, where he won the Defensive Player of the Year honors and the first Super Bowl for Tampa. As Warren Sapp, was selected in his first year, it is only logical to assume the same for Brooks.
The top five also has a new entrant in former Indianapolis Colts Wide Receiver, Marvin Harrison, who is in the top ten in virtually every major career receiving category. It is also expected that he will be a first ballot entry, and he enters the list at number 3.
Offensive Lineman, Walter Jones debuts at number 14 and could be a future entrant to Canton, though we do not suspect that will occur in his first year. The controversial Rodney Harrison is the final debut for this year, entering at number 87.
We don’t have to tell you what to do! They are up and ready for your comments and votes, and remember they do affect future rankings!
