There are now two additional members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame thanks to the Modern Baseball Era ballot.
According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Marvin Miller and Ted Simmons were elected to the Hall of Fame on Sunday. The Hall of Fame's official website explained the process, noting the 16-member Modern Baseball Era Committee voted on 10 candidates to be inducted in July alongside the Hall of Famers who are elected through the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
The candidates needed 75 percent of the vote, and Jay Jaffe of FanGraphs shared the results for Miller, Simmons, Dwight Evans, Steve Garvey, Tommy John, Don Mattingly, Thurman Munson, Dale Murphy, Dave Parker and Lou Whitaker:
