Not in Hall of Fame News

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 New England Patriots have chosen Mike Vrabel as their 34th inductee. A three-time Super Bowl Champion with the Patriots, the Linebacker began his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it was not until he joined New England in his fifth NFL campaign (2001), and joined Bill Belichick…

Two years ago, Notinhalloffame.com awarded the first ever NBA NIHOF Regular Season Cup, which was a mammoth undertaking. Denver’s Nikola Jokic, who also won the MVP, was awarded the inaugural Cup. Last year, the multi-faceted European won it again, along with a second MVP. The NIHOF NBA Cup is deduced by awarding the best five players in the game with descending points, 5-4-3-2-1. Obviously, we can’t watch all the games, but box scores and write ups give an approximate idea as to who were each game’s top five. 389 players received at least one point, with 68 cracking at least…

Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives.

Last year, the Pirates enshrined 19 former greats into their inaugural class, and we now have four former players; Dick Groat, Bob Friend, Elroy Face and Kent Tekulve will be joining them. Groat played…
