Craig Janney to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame

Not in Hall of Fame News
It has been a pretty busy week for us, so much so, that we almost missed the announcement by the United States Hockey Hall of Fame, who has just announced their Class of 2016, which consists of a 12 year NHL veteran, a four decade plus prep school coach and an entire team.
Entering the Hall will be Craig Janney from Hartford, Connecticut. A Hobey Baker Finalist from his time at Boston College, Janney was drafted 13th overall by the Boston Bruins in 1986 and helped them reached the Stanley Cup Finals in 1988 and 1990. Janney played 760 Games, scoring 751 Points over a twelve year run that saw him play for Boston, St. Louis, San Jose, Winnipeg, Phoenix, Tampa Bay and the New York Islanders. He holds the distinction of holding the record for an American born player with the highest Assists per Game (.741).
Internationally, Janney represented the United States six times scoring 26 Points. This included the 1988 Olympics, 1991 Canada Cup (where the U.S. finished second) and two World Hockey Championships (1987 & 1994).
Head Coach, Bill Belisle is entering his 42nd season helming the Rhode Island based, Mount Saint Charles Mounties. The prep school coach currently has a record of 990-183-37 and has 32 State Championships. 20 of his players have been drafted including two number one overalls (Brian Lawton and Bryan Berard) and Mathieu Schneider.
The final entrant is the 1996 World Cup of Hockey Championship Team. The team won the Gold Medal in the tournament outscoring opponents 37 to 18. The standout Americans of the team were Brian Leetch (Team Captain), Brett Hull and Goaltender, Mike Richter, who was named the tournament MVP.
We would like to congratulate the latest United States Hockey Hall of Fame Class at this time.

Lance Moore Retires. Saints HOF perhaps?

It looks like we have another retirement worth mentioning in the National Football League.
Five days after signing with the Atlanta Falcons, Wide Receiver, Lance Moore has announced his retirement from Professional Football.
Undrafted in 2005 out of the University of Toledo, Moore would sign on with the New Orleans Saints and made the active roster for six games in 2006. He would build himself up to the number three starter and worked his way up the starter, building himself up to be a part of why the Saints got to, and won Super Bowl 44. Moore would have 2 receptions for 21 Yards and a 2 Point Conversion in that big game.
In 2012, Moore would have his biggest season, catching 75 passes for 1,041 Yards and 6 Touchdowns. He would leave New Orleans and finish off his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions.
He retires with 389 Receptions with 4,816 Yards and 44 Touchdowns.
While we have no illusion that Lance Moore will be considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame is within his grasp and could be there in the next ten years.
Hall of Fame or not, we here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank Lance Moore for his gridiron memories and we wish him the best in the next stage of his life.

Alex Rodriguez to retire. PEDs will keep him out of the HOF
Aug 07, 2016
Published in

This must be the week for the Yankees and retirement.
When it was announced yesterday that the Yankees and Alex Rodriguez would be having a press conference today it was widely assumed that this meant that the slugger would be announcing his retirement at the end of the season. As it turns out, his last game will be Friday.
A-Rod will be released from his player contract and take on a role with the Bronx Bombers as an advisor and instructor. In what will now be his final year in Baseball, Rodriguez is batting only .204 with a .609 OPS and has been demoted to the bench.
Many of the articles or opinions being brandished about concerning Alex Rodriguez concerns his lofty contracts and PED use, as he infamously signed the largest contract in sports ($252 million for ten years with the Texas Rangers in 2003) and being caught using PEDs twice, the latter resulting in a full season suspension in 2014.
Rodriguez will be eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2022, and statistically he should be a lock. He is 4th all time in Home Runs (696), 2nd all time in RBIs (2,084), 19th all-time in Hits (3,114) and 8th overall in Runs Scored (2,021). He will retire with a career slash line of .295/.380/.550 and a bWAR of 117.9. His trophy case has 3 MVPs, 14 All Star Game Appearances, 10 Silver Sluggers and 2 Gold Gloves. 5 times he led the league in bWAR, has a Batting Title, 4 Slugging Titles and 5 Home Run Titles.
Statistically, the biggest knock on Rodriguez was his poor playoff performance and while that is true, he did gain some kind of redemption with his 2009 playoff run, where he helped the Yankees win the World Series.
We say all of this but we know why he won’t get in.
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are not likely to be inducted and they were never actually caught.
Rodriguez was…twice.
While we say all of this we will be doing our best to watch his final at bats as a Major League Player and it looks like we have another player who will be ranked in our top five on the Notinhalloffame.com Baseball list in what may be perpetuity.
