New sports terms I've coined completely by myself

So far, I've never heard these terms used anywhere else. Would be nice if one (especially the first one) did catch on. 
Hall of Fame-Elect: Someone who has been elected to that sport's HOF, but has not yet been formally inducted. Similar to how someone who is elected President is called the President-elect until he actually takes office.
One year wonder: Exceptional college basketball freshman who leaves for the NBA (or is very likely to) right afterwards.
Anna Kournikova team: Sports team that plays in a beautiful ballpark/stadium (bonus points if they also have nice looking uniforms), but rarely wins. Examples in MLB would be Pittsburgh, Washington, Kansas City, Baltimore.
