This year’s selections for overlooked players to be elected to the Hall of Fame are in. The Modern Baseball committee, as you’ll recall, elected Tigers greats Alan Trammell and Jack Morris to the Hall back in 2018. This year it was the Golden Days and Early Days committees’ turn, covering players active between 1950 and 1969.
The Golden Days committee meets to elect players from the era every five years. They announced on Sunday that four new players from the period will be inducted to the Hall of Fame. Gil Hodges, Minnie Miñoso, Jim Kaat, and Tony Oliva all made the cut.
