Phillies Gillick Named to HOF Committee

The 16-member committee will vote on December 7th at the Winter Meetings on the ten candidates nominated by the Hall for possible selection. Making up the list of ten are a half-dozen players, three executives, and an organizer from the early days of the sport.

Those ten candidates were selected by a Historical Overview Committee appointed by the Baseball Writers Association of America.

Eligible candidates include players who played in at least 10 major league seasons, are not on Major League Baseball’s ineligible list, and have been retired for 21 or more seasons; and Managers, Umpires and Executives with 10 or more years in baseball whose most significant career impact was realized during the time period from baseball’s origins through 1946

The ten players nominated this year are:

Doc Adams, who was that early organizer.
