Next Year's Hall of Fame Veteran Candidates Cut to 200

Maris, Santo and Oliva Still Eligible for Election

      -- Ron Santo, Roger Maris and Tony Oliva are among 200 players still eligible for election to the Hall of Fame in the 2005 Veterans Committee vote.

 

 

The original list of more than 1,400 players was pared to 200 on Monday. The initial group included all eligible major leaguers who had played at least 10 seasons through 1983.

A 60-member screening committee appointed by the Baseball Writers Association of America will cut the final list of former players to 25 this summer.

A six-member screening committee of Hall of Fame members also will independently select more five players to add if they're not already included in the list of 25.

The final ballot will be announced in the fall and the Veterans Committee will vote in January. All candidates who earn votes on 75 percent of the ballots will be enshrined in the summer of 2005.

No one was elected in the last vote in 2003.

The entire process will be repeated again in 2007 for eligible players, as well as managers, umpires and executives.
