Yes, we know that this is taking a while! As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top Detroit Tigers.

For us, this is as big as the Super Bowl Tonight, at the NFL Honors, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the nine new members of the Canton based institution. The Class of 2023 is: Joe Thomas, Offensive Tackle, Cleveland Browns 2007-17:  Thomas was expected to be a first ballot inductee, and that is what transpired for the former Outland Trophy winner.  The runner-up for the 2007 Offensive Rookie of the Year, Thomas played a record-breaking 10,363 Snaps and allowed only 30 Sacks.  Charting new territory as the first Offensive Lineman to make the Pro Bowl in his first ten years, Thomas…
Music lost one of the legendary composers/songwriters with the passing of Burt Bacharach, who passed away at the age of 94. Bacharach is considered one of the greatest songwriters of all-time, having written or cowritten staples in the Easy Listening genre.  His fingerprints were all over 73 U.S. top 40 hits which included these songs: “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” (Gene Pitney) “Only Love Can Break a Heart” (Gene Pitney) “Don’t Make Me Over” (Dionne Warwick) “Blue on Blue” (Bobby Vinton) “Close to You” (The Carpenters) “Walk On By” (Dionne Warwick) “What the World Needs Now Is Love” (Jackie DeShannon)…

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB.  Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives.  As such, it is important to us that the Seattle Mariners have announced that the Los Angeles Dodgers will retire Fernando Valenzuela’s #34 this August. The Dodgers accidentally discovered Valenzuela as they were scouting a Shortstop in Mexico.  They were dazzled by the rotund hurler and signed him, buying out his Mexican League contract in 1979.  A year later, he…
If you are a regular visitor at Notinhalloffame.com, you know that we created the Notinhalloffame NBA Cup, where in every regular season game, we award points (5-4-3-2-1) to the top five performers.  This is the third year that we have done this, and Denver’s Nikola Jokic won the first two. To keep everyone regularly in the loop this time, we have decided to give regular updates, starting at when the first player cracked 100 Points, and tell all of you the top ten.  We will this going forward with every update as the first player breaches the elevated ten-point threshold afterward. Here…
Didn’t we type this last year? Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Quarterback, Tom Brady, announced on his social media that he is retiring as an active player.  Brady made the same announcement last year, only to recant weeks after, but following Tampa’s first round playoff bounce, this seems like it will stick. Arriving as a sixth rounder from Michigan in 2000, Brady took over as the Patriots’ starting Quarterback early the season after following the injury to the incumbent QB, Drew Bledsoe.  Brady would go to the Pro Bowl, and take New England to their first Super Bowl win. Over his nearly two-decade tenure…
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has put forth one of the most diverse group of nominees for the Class of 2023, and let’s get right into who they have nominated: A Tribe Called Quest is nominated for the first time, and should the Alternative Hip-Hop group get in, it would open the doors for many of their ilk. Cyndi Lauper receives her first nomination since being eligible in 2009.  With a barrage of 80s hits, and an activist legacy that plays well to the voter base, this is a great ballot for her, as only Kate Bush falls close to her…

RIP: Bobby Hull

Hockey lost a legend today with the passing of Bobby Hull.  He was 84 years old. Hull made an impact in his first season in professional hockey.  The gifted scorer was the runner-up for the Calder in the 1957-58 season and as the 60’s came calling he would win his first batch of individual awards as in the 1959-60 season he was the NHL’s leading goal scorer, the Art Ross Trophy winner and a First Team All Star.  That is a career season for most players but for “The Golden Jet” it was just the beginning. After helping Chicago win the…
