The most controversial group of players in baseball history are eligible for the Hall of Fame this year and much like we suspect the Baseball Writers of America struggled with their ballot much the way we fought with our ranking. In the end, we made the decision to treat the Steroids Era as just that: an era. We will never how many players elected to take Performance Enhancing Drugs, but we know it was a high amount, and we know until recently it was not illegal under the rules of Major League Baseball.

With this said, for the second consecutive year in a row, our Baseball list has undergone a major overhaul from top to bottom. It includes many players who are eligible for the first time, and a slew of players that we have ranked for the first time, and possibly overlooked. As you can tell by the headline, Barry Bonds tops our list at “1c”; the highest ranked ELIGIBLE player for Cooperstown.

Although we do not yet rank those not in the College Football Hall of Fame, we would like to congratulate this year's class.

It has been announced that Green Day will be the inductors for Guns and Roses at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and I have to wonder.....Why?

I am not certain how that selection is decided, but is it just us, or does this seem out of place?   With all due respect to Green Day, their musical style differs from GNR, and they are not Hall of Famers.   Really, I could go on and on about this, but this then leads me to think that in the future this site will spend some time disecting the inductors for future Rock and Roll Hall Fame ceremonies.

Thoughts?

WWE Hall of Famer, Chief Jay Strongbow passed away today at the age of 83.  Born, Joe Scarpa, Strongbow achieved his greatest in ring success when he joined the World Wide Wrestling Federation.  He would become a top draw and a multi-time Tag Team Champion there.  Later, he would be a long time figure behind the scenes in the promotion.  This is a major loss for the WWE family.
