Former Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig and longtime Braves executive John Schuerholz were elected to the Hall of Fame on Sunday by the 16-person Today's Game Era Committee -- the latest iteration of the Veterans Committee format.
Selig served as baseball's ninth Commissioner for 23 years from 1992-2015. In that time, he oversaw the addition of four teams (Marlins, Rockies, D-backs and Rays), Wild Card expansion, the establishment of Interleague Play and the creation of MLB Advanced Media, MLB Network and the World Baseball Classic.
Just five of the 10 Commissioners have plaques in the Hall: Selig, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Happy Chandler, Ford Frick and Bowie Kuhn, who was elected posthumously in 2009 -- a year after his death.
