Not in Hall of Fame News
Rafael Palmeiro Sounds Off
Aug 12, 2012
Written by
Committee Chairman
Rafael Palmeiro knows he isn’t getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The fact that in his two years of eligibility he has not gotten past 12 percent on the ballot showcases that fact, and as the odds are strong that he will probably have just enough to stay on the ballot (5 percent is needed to stay on), he will have a constant reminder for the next thirteen years. Palmeiro recently discussed his opinion on the Hall, and the interesting comment was not the one he directed about himself. He stated that he has put it behind him, and…

Committee Chairman
If you follow our site, you may have seen that we name Barry Bonds as the most worthy eligible former player who should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In a statement to MLB.COM, the career Home Run leader agrees. Bonds stated: “Oh, without a doubt. There’s not a doubt in my mind. ”I respect the Hall of Fame, don’t get me wrong. I really, really, really respect the Hall of Fame. And I think we all do. I love the city of San Francisco and to me that’s my Hall of Fame. I don’t worry about it because…

We have to admit that this is one of our favorite weekends of the year. This is the weekend where the Football Hall of Fame enshrines their latest class and the NFL pre-season begins. The emotional festivities have already begun as the worthy collective of Willie Roaf, Dermontti Dawson, Cortez Kennedy, Curtis Martin, Jack Butler and Chris Doleman enter Canton, Ohio’s hallowed grounds. We are a little more prepared than last year as we are already prepared with our revamped list for who we think you should headline next year’s Hall of Fame Class with our new 100, which is…

Committee Chairman
One of the most enduring franchises in professional sports, the Boston Red Sox has added to their Hall of Fame. Formed in 1995, the Sox HOF has a long list of inductees, which includes sixteen men who are in the Baseball Hall of Fame. To be eligible for the Red Sox Hall, a player must be retired for at least three years and have been a member of the Boston squad for three seasons. This year’s class is headlined by Curt Schilling, who has unfortunately been in the news for financial issues, rather than baseball related ones. Schilling is a…
Randy Johnson & Dan Wilson enter the Seattle Mariners HOF

Committee Chairman
At some point we plan to look at every franchise in the big four sports and look at their respective Halls of Fame and their retired numbers. As such, we would like to officially congratulate Randy Johnson and Dan Wilson who have been named to the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame. The Mariners have always been an intriguing team to us, as despite the vast talent that has passed through the Pacific Northwest, Seattle has never been to the World Series. Johnson is a legitimate Cooperstown Hall of Famer and spent seasons in Seattle where he won a Cy…

Committee Chairman
This is definitely one of our favorite weekends as we celebrate the game of Baseball and the induction ceremonies of the Baseball Hall of Fame. As much as we are critical (and will continue to be) of the process of this particular Hall, the fact remains that this is the most treasured Hall of Fame in all of Sports, and on this day we would rather be congratulatory rather than mean tempered. This weekend Cooperstown will welcome two very worthy additions in Ron Santo and Barry Larkin; both of which were players that we ranked highly on our site. Santo…
