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.
Graham Womack joins the podcast again to discuss non-players—managers, executives, umpires, and contributors. Names like Charlie Grimm, Sam Breadon, Cy Rigler, and Lefty O’Doul come up. We also discuss Buck O’Neil as Graham makes his list from the candidates not chosen yet. Then we build a 10-man ballot, one pick at a time.
