Written by
Committee Chairman
The most anticipated day in Baseball Hall of Fame history has arrived, and like Al Capone’s Vault, the answer was Nothing. No PED users (or suspected users) got in, and nor did anybody considered clean. Let’s take a look at the vote, and give our synopsis. Craig Biggio 68.2, 1st Year, #14 on our list.The highest vote getter this year, Craig Biggio had 3,000 hits, though was never considered a dominating player, was a legitimate seven time All Star. Despite the glut of new talent on next year’s ballot, a 68.2 percent debut tells us that he will get in eventually. Jack…

The convoluted mess that is the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has unveiled its ballot with limited fanfare. Of the major North American sports, it is unarguably the hardest one to follow, and the one whose self-promotion is the weakest. With that said, we are going to take a look at the ballot and the nominees for the Class of 2013.North American Nominations (31 Nominees)From this list, a candidate needs seven of nine votes from the North American committee to become a finalist. Finalists will be announced in February at the NBA All-Star Game. They are ranked alphabetically, and their…

Ray Lewis to retire
Jan 03, 2013
Written by
Committee Chairman
Although it has been widely speculated for some time that this would be the final season of Ray Lewis’ career, today he made it official announcing that he will not return to active competition next season. Lewis still at least one more game in him, as he will return to the Baltimore Ravens’ lineup after a triceps injury took him out for the entire regular season. The Ravens are entering the playoff as the number 4 seed in the AFC, and even if they win (thus extending the career of Lewis) this weekend, this is likely to be the linebacker’s…

The College HOF ends in South Bend
Dec 30, 2012
Written by
Committee Chairman
On Sunday, the doors will close on the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana. The institution is not shutting down; rather it is moving south to Atlanta where it will reopen in 2014. The National Football Foundation is making the move as the crowds (thus revenue) were nowhere what they hoped it would be when it moved it there from Ohio in 1995. This leaves South Bend with a large downtown facility with no tenant. The College Football Hall has always (and always will be) in the shadow of the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.…
Integrity = Baseball HOF?
Dec 26, 2012
Written by
Committee Chairman
Piles upon piles of articles have come out questioning the candidacy of PED users on this year’s Hall of Fame ballot. The word “integrity” is coming up constantly, in the form of writers, fans and other former players stating that players who took Performance Enhancing Drugs lacked integrity (which is supposed to be a criteria to get into the Hall) and should not be granted entry. As it stands now, the players referred to as “cheaters”, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Roger Clemens who have that label are not likely to get in this year; the vote tallies for Mark…
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…
