This Winter, the Early Baseball Era Committee will meet to vote on ten candidates for the Baseball Hall of Fame. This committee covers all of baseball before 1950. The ballot will consider players from the White major leagues and the Black major leagues as well as pioneers, managers, umpires, and executives. How will the committee distill over 100 years of baseball into just ten names? To complicate matters, this committee won’t meet again for ten years.
This episode is an introduction to the podcast with baseball historian Graham Womack of Baseball Past and Present. Graham and I discuss the history of the Veterans Committee and Era Committees, how these ballots are constructed, and why this committee will only meet once per decade. We tossed around a few names you could expect to hear in the forthcoming episodes.
