The world of music lost a great one when we lost Etta James, who passed away from a myriad of ailments.  James' brought the world smoe of the smoothest and most sultry R&B music ever and her blueprint is all over many modern Rock and Roll divas.  Like many of her era, her music was forgotten, but in the last twenty years, her music has been "rediscovered" of sorts, and her place in Rock history is secure.  The legend was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, and she will be missed.
One of our favorite baseball players of all time is not well.  Former Expo and Met Catcher, Gary Carter has been diagnosed with new tumors on his brain.  The Hall of Famer, had been fighting brain tumors for the past two years and the former eleven time All Star is clearly in the biggest fight of his life.  We here at notinhalloffame are praying for his recovery.
We are reminded of the "Greatest Show on Turf" as its architect; Mike Martz has announced his retirement.  We don't really see him in the Hall of Fame (unless they finally put in Don Coryell), but it would not surprise to see him reach a semi finalist status down the road.

Could we be busier today?   The WWE has now announced that the Hall of Fame will be adding the Four Horsemen.  Best as we can tell this means that Arn Anderson (#19), Barry Windham (#25) and Tully Blanchard (#41) are now going to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.  What we are not sure of is what role Ric Flair has, or whether J.J. Dillon is part of it.   Either way, this looks to be a loaded class.   Much like our post with Edge, these wrestlers will remain on our list until post Wrestlemania when our revisions become locked in.
