US EditionBaseball Hall of Fame Reveals Committee Members Who Will Consider Bonds, Clemens and Others (Copy)
The 16-member committee will vote on eight candidates, including Bonds and Clemens, requiring 75% approval for induction under updated eligibility rules.
- On Tuesday, the Hall named a 16-member contemporary era committee to review a ballot including Carlos Delgado, Jeff Kent, Gary Sheffield, and Fernando Valenzuela, meeting Tuesday in Orlando before July 26 induction.
- The Hall restructured its veterans committees in 2022 to cover the contemporary era, which includes players from 1980 on, and these panels meet on a three-year committee cycle with consideration windows through December 2028.
- Under Hall rules, each BBWAA's 11-person historical overview committee voter may select up to three candidates, with a 75% threshold for election and removal of candidates receiving fewer than five votes for three years.
- Bonds and Clemens arrive as high-profile, contested names after falling short on the BBWAA 2022 ballot with 260 of 394 votes for Bonds and 257 for Clemens.
- Fernando Valenzuela remains on the ballot despite earlier BBWAA support levels that led to his removal decades ago, an unusual posthumous appearance, while Gary Sheffield nearly reached election in 2024 with 63.9%, saying he was unaware training substances contained steroids.
