Thanks for posting -- I missed this change.
Those (4) prior committees didn't last long. Maybe they are tweaking the process to make induction easier [in their minds] who knows? Seems like they change the process more often than they vote. This version seems even dumber than the last. A separate vote for non-players? Nonsense IMO. Here comes Lou Piniella. Ugh
The [recent] problem was the 75% hurdle with only 4 votes per (I think it was 4). It made it impossible for anyone to be inducted unless there was massive collusion within the electorate. That has not changed much. With honest, that is, no-lobbying voting, there will never be another era committee induction. With lobbying, we'll get the likes of Harold Baines. It just shouldn't be this difficult.
