Eight former players from MLB’s recent past will be considered for Hall of Fame induction by the Hall’s Contemporary Era Committee when it meets as part of baseball’s Winter Meetings this coming Sunday, December 4, as I noted here earlier this month.
Today, the 16 members of that committee were revealed, and several have Cubs connections:

In addition to Bonds and Clemens, Albert Belle, Don Mattingly, Fred McGriff, Dale Murphy, Rafael Palmeiro and Curt Schilling will be considered by the 16-person committee, which for the first time will include two women, Marlins general manager Kim Ng and longtime sportswriter Susan Slusser, who was once president of the BBWAA.
