To get an idea of how hard it will be for a 19th century player to get in, here are the winners of SABR's Overlooked 19th Century Baseball Legends annual election.
Besides these players, among recent nominees are Tommy Bond, Charlie Buffinton, Lave Cross, Paul Hines, Grant “Home Run” Johnson, Dick McBride, Jim McCormick, Cal McVey, Jim Mutrie, Dickey Pearce, Lip Pike, Al Reach, Jimmy Ryan, Ben Shibe, George Stovey, Chris Von der Ahe, and George Van Haltren. If 19th century fans are lucky, maybe two of these will be among the eight to be nominated. And there's no guarantee any of them will get on the ballot because they are competing with players from 1900-1980 and I have a feeling Luis Tiant, Dick Allen, Thurman Munson, Ken Boyer, Dave Parker, Tommy John, etc. will be more familiar than any of these players...not to mention Sherry Magee, Wes Ferrell, Stan Hack, Vern Stephens, Bob Johnson, Bobby Veach, Vada Pinson, Babe Adams, Billy Pierce, Wilbur Cooper, Bucky Walters, etc.). And once they are on the ballot, they will need 75% of the votes.

Apparently, the hall of fame has changed the committee format again.
In September of 2020, I made an excel spreadsheet for the hall of fame election schedule. It was this: 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.

My most tantalizing Wiffle Ball pitch was the eponymic 'Louie,' named after Tiant, where in mid wind-up I'd fully twist my body so that my back was facing the batter...then after a short timing-interrupting hesitation, explode out of it and drop a sweeping curve right off the table from his head to the ground way off the outside of the plate.
Good times!!

So many deserving names submitted in this thread, IMO. If any of them were to actually get in, it would go a long way to restoring my faith that these selection committees truly are making the right decisions. Some of the recent year's selections would appear to be lesser deserving than some of these names. In my opinion.
