Thread hasn't been updated in quite a while. A couple veterans committees met today. The pre-1950 group elected former Negro Leaguers Bud Fowler, and Buck O'Neil. The 1950-69 group elected Gil Hodges, Minnie Minoso, Tony Oliva, and Jim Kaat. Oliva and Kaat are still alive, and will be inducted next summer.

The baseball writers are currently doing their annual voting for the regular induction. Balloting closes at the end of the year, results announced in late January.
