Let’s pretend we’re one of the 16 members voting in Sunday’s Contemporary Baseball Era election.
Less than a year after not being elected by the Baseball Writers Association of America in their final year of eligibility, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling have another shot at the Hall of Fame. They are three of the eight players on the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee ballot, which also features Albert Belle, Don Mattingly, Fred McGriff, Dale Murphy and Rafael Palmeiro.
The committee’s 16 members can vote for no more than three players. To be elected, players must appear on at least 75% of the ballots cast.
