Committee Chairman
You may have seen that the College Football Hall of Fame has announced the 2016 ballot, but might be struggling to find a complete list of all the nominees. That is probably because with over a hundred of them each region will focus on the ones that are locally pertinent. To qualify for the College Hall of Fame, a player has to have been an All American once and at least ten years away removed from the college ranks. The 76 Football Bowl Subdivision Players are: Morten Anderson: Michigan State Place Kicker, 1978-81 Erick Anderson: Michigan Linebacker, 1988-91 Michael Bishop:…

For those of you who are regular visitors to Notinhalloffame.com, you have probably noticed a major overhaul in the site.

We here at Notinhallofffame.com always strive to update our rankings after a class is announced but with the extensive overhaul of the website it took a little longer than normal. Also, we elected to look more to the past than before, this resulting in additions that had not been there previously. With the help of one of our regular visitors and WWE historian, we have added a…

We will get there I promise. We are looking to set up in the future a greatest players list for every major North American Sports team, and along with that a look at how they treat their past stars via retired numbers, franchise hall of fames, rings of honor etc. Once that is done, the college ranks won’t be far behind, and as such when an athletic conference such as the Mid-American Conference adds to their Hall of Fame, it is news to us. Last night the 2015 Class was officially inducted in Cleveland, Ohio, and the most recognizable name…

Love them or hate them, you have to respect the legacy of the New York Yankees who may have the most colorful history of any North American sports franchise. The Bronx Bombers added to that with the official retirement of former Outfielder, Bernie Williams’s number #51 yesterday. Williams was a member of the Yankees in all of his sixteen seasons in Major League Baseball and was a member of four World Series Championship Teams. He would win the American League Batting Title in 1998, the Silver Slugger Award in 2002 and won the Gold Glove Award four consecutive seasons from…

Committee Chairman
Former Harlem Globetrotter and Basketball Hall of Famer, Marques Haynes, died today at the age of 89 of natural causes in Plano, Texas. Haynes was regarded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest dribblers in basketball history, having been estimated at being able to dribble six times per second, but that was not all he could do on the court as he was regarded as a great basketball player. Marques Haynes would join the Harlem Globetrotters in 1947 and emerge as the team’s marquee attraction. Haynes would stay with the team until 1953, but not to join the…

The NASCAR Hall of Fame has announced the new members of their latest Hall of Fame Class and the relatively new Hall is continues its expansion with class and prestige. The class (in our eyes anyway) is headlined by Bobby Isaac, who we had ranked at #2 on our last list. Isaac is a posthumous induction after passing away at the age of 45 from a heart attack. He had 37 Sprint Cup Wins. Terry Labonte, who for many is the headliner of this year’s class, will join Isaac. Labonte was the Sprint Series Champion in both 1984 and 1996. …

Jorge Posada talks about his PED teammates

Written by
Committee Chairman
Just you because they were your former teammate it does not mean that you automatically think that they should be in the Hall of Fame. That is what we learned from former New York Yankee, Jorge Posada, who was an All Star Catcher and former teammate of Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens, the latter of which has been on the Hall of Fame ballot for a few years and is not expected to enter Cooperstown based on the support he has received thus far. Posada was not ambiguous when asked on CBS whether A-Rod or Clemens should be in the…
