NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — Most years, the Veterans Committee voting for the Hall of Fame is an exercise that involves digging deep into the past. Not so this year, as the committee will vote Sunday on the Hall of Fame cases of some rather familiar names, including Bud Selig, Mark McGwire, Albert Belle and George Steinbrenner.
This is the first year of the Hall of Fame’s Today’s Game ballot, which aims to consider more modern candidates. It’s one of the four rotating committees that was born when the Veterans Committee system we knew was overhauled last year.
