Not in Hall of Fame News

It has concluded!!! The Notinhalloffame WNBA Cup has concluded, and it should surprise nobody that superstar A’Ja Wilson has won it all! Here is how it worked! In every WNBA regular-season game, we award descending points (5-4-3-2-1) to the top five players.  At the end of the season, the player with the most points will be awarded the Notinhalloffame WNBA Cup.  However, the winning player must accept their award in person in the Emerald City of Seattle, where the official mascot of Notinhalloffame will give it, Winnie the Mini Daschund. Here are the final standings: 1. A’Ja Wilson, Center, Las…

Johnson would become far more recognized as a Manager, most notably with the New York Mets, whom he took to a World Series Championship in 1986.  He also skipped for the Cincinnati Reds, the Baltimore Orioles, the…

1983 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS: Thank you for your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946. We have completed the years up to 1982. For “1983,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1977. We are also following the structure, where players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the…

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Cincinnati Bengals will be inducting Dave Lapham and Lemar Parrish to their Ring of Honor this year. Lapham is one of the most popular Bengals Offensive Linemen in team history, and was also among its most versatile.  Playing most of his games at Guard, Lapham started at all five…
