The Houston Astros have not had a whole lot to celebrate in the past few years, but this past Saturday the franchise resigned to a one day contract, Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt so that they could both retire as Astros. Both Berkman and Oswalt were at their best playing for Houston, and it is fitting that they retired together as they debuted for the team two years apart.Berkman’s tenure in Houston was from 1999 to 2010 where he represented the Astros in five All Star Games and finished third in MVP voting twice. His keen eye earned him seven…

Committee Chairman
In an interview with Billboard.com, a question was posed to Def Leppard frontman, Joe Elliott was asked about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and if he was interested in being a part of it. His answer was something we thought was worth repeating: “I haven’t thought about it until literally today because they’re asking us our opinion on the Kiss thing. I imagine the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as this board table with six Mr. Roboto’s sitting around, faceless tuxedo-wearing prats. This is the way I look at it as there are two hats. They pull…

2009 Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee, Ralph Wilson passed away today at the age of 95. Wilson was the only owner in the history of the Buffalo Bills, who were initially part of the upstart American Football League.

We never thought we would live to see the day that Scott Hall entered the WWE Hall of Fame. More accurately, we never thought that Scott Hall would live to see that day! It was announced tonight on Monday Night RAW that he will be (what we expect) will be the final entrant to the 2014 Class. Hall had already achieved a level of success in the AWA, NWA and WCW when he entered the World Wrestling Federation in the summer of 1992, but it was there he took his game to the next level. Rechristened “Razor Ramon” (which was…

When we started this website, we sought out someone to work on a Notinhalloffame.com Golf section. Upon finding someone, his response was quick: “There is no point. The Golf Hall of Fame lets in everybody!” Apparently, the institution based in St. Augustine, Florida came to same conclusion. This year, there will be no inductees as the World Golf Hall of Fame has elected to revamp their induction procedures and resume induction in 2015. Instead of hundreds of writers, a sixteen person Selection Committee will now decide the future classes, with potential entrants being grouped into four distinct categories: Mens Competitor…

Gang, we are going to try to make this the last article/editorial on KISS’s participation in the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.A few days ago, Joel Peresman, the CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame gave some insight as to why Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer would not be inducted: Thayer and Singer “are fine musicians who basically have the same makeup and are the same characters that Ace and Peter started. It’s not like they created these other characters with different makeup and playing different songs. They took the persona of characters that were created…
