Early Baseball - 1871-1949
Golden Days - 1950 - 1969
Modern Baseball - 1970 - 1987
Today's Game - 1988 - Present
The Modern and Today's Game committees were to each meet every two years.
The Early Baseball and Golden Days committees were to meet in 2022, and then every five years.
Now, it appears they've reduced it to three committees as follows:
Classic Era - Everything before 1980 - Meets in Dec 2024
Contemporary Era (Players) - 1980 to the Present - Meets in Dec 2025
Contemporary Era (Mgrs/Execs/Umps) - 1980 to Present - Meets Dec 2026
Each of the three committees will meet every third year.

Right. At least with the previous committees, the earlier players had a chance (and occasionally one would get in). Now it will be very difficult because they are competing with a larger pool of players.
