Former Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Orel Hershiser and manager Davey Johnson did not receive sufficient votes for election into the Hall of Fame via the Today’s Game Era ballot. Former MLB All-Stars Harold Baines and Lee Smith were the only two members elected.
Candidates needed a minimum of 12 votes for enshrinement. Baines and Smith will be inducted into Cooperstown on July 21, 2019, joining those who are elected by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Jan. 22.
The Today’s Game Era committee is comprised of 16 members and votes on different eras of candidates who are no longer eligible for election.
