The Cleveland Indians have announced that former Shortstop, Omar Vizquel, will become the 40th member of their club’s Hall of Fame.

He was named to three All Star Games and won eight Gold Glove Awards while playing in Cleveland. He would have a WAR of 30.1 with 1,616 Hits and 279 Stolen Bases there.

Ultimate Warrior to the WWE HOF
Jan 14, 2014
Written by
Committee Chairman
About eight years ago, World Wrestling Entertainment released “The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior”; a DVD that as you can tell from the title was far from flattering. As outspoken and let’s just say strange as the Warrior has been, for a multi-million dollar company to use their resources to bury a former talent was a questionable decision; even if there was some validity to the claims of those who spoke on the production. At that moment, picturing the Ultimate Warrior in the WWE Hall of Fame was as impossible as picturing...well....Bruno Sammartino in the WWE Hall of Fame! We…

This is definitely our favorite time of year and one of the days that shows the reason why this website was created. Today, the Baseball Hall of Fame have announced the Class of 2014 and there will be three new members as Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas have all been selected on their first year of eligibility. They will join a Tony LaRussa, Joe Torre and Bobby Cox who have already been selected by the Veterans Committee, making this a loaded class and one that should draw significantly better than the sad sack Class of 2013 which inducted…
RIP: Phil Everly

Written by
Committee Chairman
We have lost another musical legend as Phil Everly passed away at the age of 74 due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Everly was a heavy smoker in his life which attributed to his severe emphysema and bronchitis. He was one half of the Everly Brothers, who were one of the most popular acts of the 1950’s and one of the most unique at the time.The duo mastered two part harmonies and perhaps better than anyone else did at the time combined the Country Sound with the new Rock and Roll style. This gave them a broader appeal than most…

Written by
Committee Chairman
Normally we don’t report on the happenings of the Swedish Hockey Hall of Fame, but we thought that the 59th entry was worth noting.Yesterday, at the World Junior Hockey Championships prior to a game in which the host nation, Sweden routed Norway, Mats Sundin was honored as the next member. The Swedish Hockey Hall of Fame is barely three years old, but they have moved quickly to build a Hall of Fame list worth looking at. This marks the “hat trick” for Sundin in regards to Hall of Fame institutions. Sundin was selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in…

He elected to focus on the gridiron and forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft, where he was taken in the First Round…
