Veterans Committee

In the first year of a new Veterans Committee format, candidates from both on and off the field were considered from the expansion era of 1973-1989. 16 ballots were cast with 12 being needed for election. If a candidate received fewer than 8 votes, his true total was not disclosed. The committee was made up of 16 members: 8 Hall of Famers (Johnny Bench, Whitey Herzog, Eddie Murray, Jim Palmer, Tony Perez, Frank Robinson, Ryne Sandberg and Ozzie Smith), 4 executives (Bill Giles, David Glass, Andy MacPhail and Jerry Reinsdorf) and 4 media members (Bob Elliott, Tim Kurkjian, Ross Newhan and Tom Verducci).
