Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.\n\nActually their is a lot of people in the Hall of Fame who never played a game.  Their are managers, owners, umpires, executives, sports writers.  and broadcasters who are in the HOF.  \n\nThe correct question who are only two people who never covered, played, umpired, or worked in the MLB or Nero leagues whoa re in the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Abbott and Costello would be that answer.

No.  He's a very, very good player.  But very, very good players don't go to the hall of fame.  Special ones do.  He's not that special.  He had 46 HR's last year - but in today's game, that's nothing special.

No, Maris is not in the HOF, and probably will not ever be.\n\nHis career numbers of 275 Home Runs and 851 RBI are not Hall of Fame caliber for an outfielder.\n\nHe did win 2 MVP awards (which obviously means he was NOT  a "one year wonder" as a lot of people think), but he was an All Star for only four seasons....that's not a good total either for a Hall of Fame candidate.\n\nHis .217 World Series batting average didn't help his case either... He did hit  6 World Series Home Runs, and he played for  seven Pennant Winners (and three World Championship teams).\n\nMaris died in 1985, and did receive some significant Hall of Fame vote totals during the 2 or 3 years following his death, but never made the 75% total needed to be inducted.

First to the guy above me - Magic Johnson was inducted into the Hall of Fame four years ago.\n\nMichael Jordan is undoubtedly the best player of the past 30 years, and possibly of all time.  Considering that he's not yet inducted, then I'd have to say that he's the most deserving player not currently enshrined.\n\nThere are plenty of others who are deserving and who will get there, but there are no players as good as MJ who are still waiting to get in.

Not only is this not a question, but it's not even related to hockey.  Perhaps you want to know more about BreTt HUll, a hockey player who will certainly enter the hall of fame and who retired this season.  If that's what you mean, I've included a link for your benefit.

I think Reggie more than deserves a spot in the hall of fame. People will point to his lack of Championships, his lack of major awards (only three selections to NBA Third Team) but one can equally point to the fact that he is the NBA's all time leader in 3-pointers made and attempted, he is 7th in total games played with 1,323 and 14th on the all time scoring list with 24,305 points.\n\nMore importantly, Reggie was a great personality, a player known for his drive and confidence and his loyalty and his determination in 18 seasons with the Pacers. He will always be remember as one of the greatest jump shooters in the history of the game, for his clutch shots and for his never say die spirit. The NBA would have been a much lesser place without Reggie and for that reason alone he deserves to be in the hall of fame.

Bill Walton never played for the Lakers...he did play for the San Diego/Los Angeles Clippers.\n\nLaker Hall of Famers include:\n\nGeorge Mikan, C - led the Lakers to 5 titles in 6 years in the late 40s/early 50s.\n\nVern Mikkelsen, F - team mate of Mikan.\n\nJerry West, G\n\nElgin Baylor, F\n\nWilt Chamberlain, C - played five seasons with the Lakers at the end of his career, took the Lakers to the finals four times, winning once.\n\nGail Goodrich, G\n\nKareem Abdul-Jabbar, C\n\nMagic Johnson, G\n\nJames Worthy, F\n\n\nOnly Shaq and Kobe will make the HOF from the current  / recent Laker teams (unless you want to count Karl Malone and Gary Payton, both of whom will make it).\n\nThere are, no doubt, some players who played briefly with the Lakers who are or will make the HOF via their credentials with other teams...  Don Nelson, for example, played for the Lakers, but is better known for his coaching, and for hitting an amazing shot in Game 7 of the 1969 finals while playing for Boston, enabling the Celtics to beat L.A. by two pts.\n\nConnie Hawkins, F, played part of his career with the Lakers.

1983\nAhmet Ertegun, Atlantic Records founder and chairman, sets out to establish an organization which will "recognize the people who have created this music which has become the most popular music of our time." Along with attorney Suzan Evans, now the Executive Director of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, Ertegun approaches the heads of various record companies with his idea, spearheading the formation of the non-profit organization that would eventually become the Foundation. \nA small group of music industry professionals, including Rolling Stone magazine publisher Jann Wenner, attorney Allen Grubman and record executives Seymour Stein, Bob Krasnow and Noreen Woods hold brainstorming sessions with Ertegun and Evans on how to make the idea work. \n\nA nominating committee headed by Stein, and later co-chaired by producer/manager Jon Landau, is appointed to establish nominating criteria. The committee decides that an artist is eligible for nomination to the Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of his or her first recording. In addition to the performer category, two other categories are established for "non-performers" (producers, label heads, songwriters, inventors, etc.) and "early influences" (musicians who laid the groundwork for rock and roll). \n\nOctober 1985\nOfficials from Cleveland and the state of Ohio approach the Foundation and suggest the construction of a major museum. "We originally planned to purchase a brownstone in New York City in which to house the Hall of Fame, as well as an archive, library and museum," says Suzan Evans. In November, the city sends a delegation to New York. \n\n"They had these wonderful diagrams for a museum that would be much larger than any town house we had originally thought of," recalls Evans. "Our eyebrows were raised, and somebody at the meeting actually passed me a note that said, 'Pack your bags.'" \n\nAs the Foundation considers the offer, several other cities, including New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Memphis and Chicago, also make offers. The board members visit each city and are greeted with police escorts, public rallies and marching bands. \n\nJanuary 1986\nThe first induction dinner is held at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Inductees include Chuck Berry, James Brown, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Fats Domino, the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and Little Richard.  Robert Johnson, Jimmie Rodgers and Jimmy Yancey are honored as early influences. The first non-performers honored are producer Sam Phillips and disc jockey Alan Freed. Talent scout/producer John Hammond is recognized with a Lifetime Achievement award. \n\n1986\nA poll conducted by USA Today ranks Cleveland first in the race for the Hall of Fame. \n\nMay 5, 1986\nAfter much competition and many visits to potential sites by Foundation members, Cleveland is chosen as the permanent home for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. \n\n1987\nFollowing an extensive search, world-renowned architect I.M. Pei is chosen to design the Museum. Pei had a lot of learning to do. "I didn't know a thing about rock and roll," he confesses. \n\nNot to be discouraged, the board members take Pei on trips to Memphis and New Orleans and to concerts in New York. "We heard a lot of music, and I finally got it: rock and roll is about energy," says Pei. He accepted the challenge. \n\nJune 7, 1993\nGround is broken for the Museum in Cleveland. On hand are I.M. Pei and board members including Ahmet Ertegun, Suzan Evans and Jann Wenner. Inductees and other artists present at the ceremony include Pete Townshend, Chuck Berry, Billy Joel, Sam Phillips, Ruth Brown, Sam Moore, Carl Gardner and Dave Pirner. \n\nTownshend makes one of the museum's significant donations on this occasion — the Gibson J-200 guitar used to compose Tommy, including the classic "Pinball Wizard." \n
