Not in Hall of Fame News
The 1945 Hockey HOF Class is up
Dec 25, 2012
Written by
Committee Chairman
The main crux of this website has always been “Who is not in the Hall of Fame?” As such, we thought it was time to take a look at the existing Halls of Fame and look at their history and just who IS in the Hall of Fame. We have started with the Hockey Hall of Fame (we thought the sport needed a bit of extra love these days) and we will look at it year by year. With each inductee, you can vote as to whether that player or builder should be in the Hall, or whether they should…

Rush enters the Rock and Roll HOF!!!!

Written by
Committee Chairman
It looks like we have to change our logo again! When we began our website, Alice Cooper “represented” the Rock and Roll section of our logo of a musical icon snubbed by the Hall of Fame. As Cooper got in, we changed it to Rush. We are happy that we will be changing it again! As you are aware, the newest class for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is out, and to us (and many others we are sure), Rush has finally entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This was the first year that they were…

Chris Kluwe criticizes the Football HOF
Dec 10, 2012
Written by
Committee Chairman
Minnesota Vikings Punter, Chris Kluwe has never been shy with his opinions. He wrote “Vote Ray Guy” on his jersey patch that commemorates the Hall’s 50th anniversary. Guy, who has been universally labeled as the greatest punter ever never, got into the Hall despite being a semi-finalist multiple times. In fact, there is no football player who was strictly a punter who has been enshrined in Canton. Kluwe called the Hall of Fame a “sham” and added that he would not “support a Hall of Fame that doesn’t have a punter in it”. He went on to say that sysyem…

Barry Larkin and Andre Dawson sound off
Dec 08, 2012
Written by
Committee Chairman
It seems every Baseball Hall of Famer has a position on PED users for entry to Cooperstown. Of course, with this year’s ballot, can we really be surprised? Recently Barry Larkin, who was inducted last year, told the Associated Press that “If you cheated you made a decision” and did not deserve to get in. He was specifically referring to Sosa, Clemens and Bonds who are on this year’s Hall of Fame ballot and have been directly linked to Performance Enhancing Drugs. The former Cincinnati Reds star is not alone. Yesterday, Andre Dawson, who was himself inducted in 2010,…

Committee Chairman
We would like to congratulate Tom Cheek for entering the Baseball Hall of Fame posthumously for his work as the Toronto Blue Jays play by play announcer on radio. Cheek called the first 4,306 regular season game for Toronto and has the signature call of “Touch em all Joe! You’ll never hit a bigger home run in your life” when Jays’ outfielder, Joe Carter belted the home run that cemented Toronto’s second consecutive World Series in the mid 90’s. Cheek is the winner of the Ford Frick Award for Broadcasting Excellence. This award reminds us how much the Baseball Hall…
