Our All-Time Top 50 Philadelphia Phillies have been revised
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present the pre-2021 update of our top 50 Philadelphia Phillies of all-time.
As for all of our top 50 players in hockey we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
There are no new additions, but as always, we announce our top five immediately, but out full list can be found here.
1. Mike Schmidt
5. Ed Delahanty
While there were no new entries, there is one significant move on this list.
Pitcher, Aaron Nola, shot up to #39 from #45.
We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.
Nick Markakis Retires
There always seems to be a significant retirement in baseball’s Spring Training. For 2021, it is Nick Markakis of the Atlanta Braves.
Playing at Rightfield, Markakis debuted with the Baltimore Orioles in 2006 where he was sixth in Rookie of the Year voting. Markakis showed decent power, having back-to-back 20 HR/.300 years (2007 & 2008), and he was twice a Gold Glove recipient.
After the 2014 Season, Markakis signed with the Atlanta Braves, and in 2018, he was chosen for his first Silver Slugger and All-Star Game, while earning a third Gold Glove.
Markakis retires with 2,388 Hits, 189 Home Runs, 1,046 RBIs with a Slash Line of .288/.357/.433.
Markakis will be eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2026. While he is not likely to get inducted, he will appear on the ballot, and might receive a few votes.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Nick Markakis the best in his post-playing career.

Molly Holly named to the WWE HOF
One of the casualties of COVID-19 was the deletion of the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. It had been unceremoniously dropped, and we have yet to update our official Notinhalloffame.com list, but we will now put it off until after this year’s Wrestlemania, especially now that we know we will have 2021 inductees.
Today, it was announced that Molly Holly will be inducted this year. Holly (Nora Greenwald) was considered one of the best female workers in the 2000s. Holly first gained national attention in WCW as “Mona”, part of Randy Savage’s entourage. She signed with the WWE in 2000, as Molly Holly, cousin of Hardcore and Crash.
On screen, she had a relationship with Spike Dudley, and then would become “Mighty Molly”, the sidekick of the Hurricane. Her best years followed a heel turn after Wrestlemania X8, where she would become a two-time WWE Women’s Champion, with her most famous match coming on the losing end of a hair vs. title match at Wrestlemania XX against Victoria.
Holly left the WWE in 2005, and has sporadically returned, including twice competing in the Royal Rumble.
It was also announced today that there will be a special that will include the 2020 and 2021 Classes.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Molly Holly for her impending induction.
