Last January, the Baseball Hall of Fame announced the Class of 2026, and for us at Notinhalloffame.com, this means it is time to revise the list of those to consider for the Hall.

At present, it is a work in progress, as we have multiple projects underway (including prepping the ballot for the 2026 United States Athletic Hall of Fame), but we are also slowly working on the Baseball Hall revision.

Our revisions take into account the following:

• Removing those who were inducted and including those who are now eligible.
• Taking in your votes and comments and adjusting accordingly.

Simple, right?

As this is a work in progress, the section is under construction, but we will keep you apprised of the changes as we go.

The entire list (again, it is under construction) is here,  but in the meantime, here is the revised 41-50:

41. Will Clark 
42. Sherry Magee
43. Al Oliver
44. Bucky Walters
45. Dave Concepcion
46. Dave Stieb
47. Billy Pierce
48. Larry Doyle
49. Omar Vizquel
50. Reggie Smith

Look for more updates soon.

I own and run three sites, one of which is the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.   The USAHOF is a grassroots organization designed to honor the greatest American Athletes of all time.

Thus far, we have completed three years of inductions.  The way it works is that we have a committee of sportswriters and athletes who help us decide which athletes should be on the ballot.   A ballot is provided to the committee with 125 athletes, and the top 25 advance to the public ballot.   This is online for six months, and the top 25 athletes (along with five coaches, contributors, and broadcasters).

I am seeking to expand the athletes who help us with the voting process.

It would only take roughly ten minutes of your time, and is all done digitally.  We would then ask your permission to use your name as one of the committee members.

Our site is www.theusahof.com, and please let me know if you are interested or have any questions.

Looking forward to hearing back from you!

Happy Opening Day!

What better way to celebrate today’s festivities than by unveiling the Notinhalloffame.com Baseball list of those to consider for the Baseball Hall of Fame for 2025?

You can see the entire list of 300 players here, but this is the new Top 10.

This is based on your votes, new entrants, and a blanket look at the candidates.

At #1 is Barry Bonds, the seven-time MVP and all-time leader in Home Runs.  The man was a hitting God but was beset with PED allegations and snubbed by both the Baseball Voters and Seniors.  Bonds may hold #1 on this list forever. 

Lather, rinse, repeat. Roger Clemens is the pitching equivalent of Bonds. He was the best hurler of his generation, but he has the same PED stink that Bonds does. He is ranked #2.

Alex Rodriguez did not fare well in the votes, but we kept him at #3.  The three-time MVP and statistical juggernaut was caught with PEDs, leading to two suspensions, but we are giving him a short leash next year.  If his voting numbers (by all of you) do not improve, he will plummet from his #3.

At #4 is another controversial figure, Pete Rose. The “Hit King” is banned from the Hall, but stranger things have happened (see Ohtani, Shohei), and a loud contingent wants him inducted.

At #5, the highest debut (and likely first-ballot inductee) is Ichiro Suzuki, who has more Hits than Rose if you combine the Japanese League.   Suzuki WILL become the first Japanese player to enter Cooperstown in 2025.

The #6 player is another banned player, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson.  He was banned for allegedly participating in the 1919 “Black Sox” Scandal.

Career Detroit Tiger Infielder Lou Whitaker is at #7 and late-1800’s Pitcher Jim McCormick finally breaks the top ten at #8. 

The Top Ten concludes with Bill Dahlen and Dwight Evans.

You know what we want you to do!

Take a look at the names and cast your votes and opinions!

As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you for your support.
