Upcoming Elections

With the changes to the Hall of Fame’s Era Committees in 2016, it can be difficult to know who is eligible for the Hall of Fame and when. I’ll do my best to clarify things for you. Please note that when a player played in multiple Eras, we’re grouping him in the Era in which he produced the highest Hall Rating.

The red and green icons indidate whether or not the player is in the Hall of Stats (HOS) or Hall of Merit (HOM). If an icon is not present, the player is not yet eligible.

2022 Back to Top

The 2022 election cycle features the return of the Golden Days and Early Baseball Era Committee elections. After this cycle, the Golden Days Era Committee won’t meet again for five years and the Early Baseball Era Committee meets again in ten years. For fans of early baseball, this is a crucial election. The BBWAA ballot sees a pair of huge names hit the ballot—Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz. It will also be the final chance for Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens (and Curt Schilling if he misses induction this month).
