Not in Hall of Fame News

Last week we here at Notinhalloffame.com were thrilled to unveil the 2014 Rock and Roll list at a timeframe much quicker than we did last year. With that completed, we were able to focus on the Baseball section, which we have now finished and are happy to unveil today.As happy as we are to present it to all of you, we know that the debate on the Baseball Hall of Fame will remain the hottest debate among such institutions and we welcome the polarizing opinions that comes with it.As with all of the other lists we do, we alter rankings…
As we have mentioned here on Notinhalloffame.com, we don’t foresee us ever ranking those who are not in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. This is not to say that we don’t have respect for this institution as we certainly do, but as much as songwriting is an obviously vital part of music, this Hall of Fame does not raise even a fraction of the ire and passion that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame does.Regardless of that fact, there is a major event which occurred yesterday as they have announced their 2014 Class which includes a pair of recognizable…
It was announced tonight on Monday Night Raw that Amy Dumas who performed as “Lita” in the WWE, will be part of the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame Class. This should not come as a real shock, as she was one of the top women wrestlers in the 2000’s and the WWE has seemingly tried to induct a female every year since its return to annual inductions in 2004. Amy Dumas began her wrestling career in 1998 and within a year she was performing in ECW as “Miss Congeniality” where she only appeared for five months before gaining attention from…
Ladies and Gentleman, we have always said that the Winter is our favorite time of year at Notinhalloffame.com.

The first up is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and we are thrilled to announce that we have our revision done much quicker than we did last year. Our last year’s number one selection, Nirvana was selected on their first year of eligibility necessitating a…

RIP: Ralph Kiner

Today, we lost another great in the world of Baseball as Ralph Kiner passed away today at the age of 91. Kiner was only in Major League Baseball for ten seasons as a sever back injury took him out of the game at the age of 32, but in his first seven seasons he was one of the most decorated power hitters ever. Kiner entered MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1946 and won the National League Home Run title, which is an accolade he would win the next six seasons after. His career total would be 369, and to…
The Professional Football Hall of Fame has announced the Class of 2014, and we are sure that is going to be satisfying for many as the mixture of first time inductees and long time snubs makes this a very interesting class. Let’s take a look shall we?In our eyes, the headliner is first time nominee and the number one on our list, Derrick Brooks. In the eyes of many (including us) Brooks is the best player to ever suit up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and his selection had to happen.Michael Strahan will also be joining the Hall of Fame.…
Another major retirement in the world of Major League Baseball has occurred as Lance Berkman has called it a career.

He wrapped up his career with some very good power numbers, totalling 366 Home Runs and was a Doubles champion twice. He…
Do you get the feeling that Warren Sapp really hates Michael Strahan? Sapp has been on the record for his dislike of Strahan for years, seemingly stemming from when he earned the Quarterback Sack record in a season in 2001 when Brett Favre appeared to lay down for him. Sapp sounded off again today against Strahan saying the following: “I don’t think his resume stacks up. Tony Dungy, Walter Jones, Marvin Harrison and Derrick Brooks are more deserving. Four straight Pro Bowls and a mythical sack record. When you really measure it up, he comes short except you all are…
