Bochy, Alderson up for Hall on Contemporary Baseball Era Ballot

The National Baseball Hall of Fame has revealed the eight candidates on the Contemporary Baseball Era ballot for managers, executives, and umpires. The nominees are Sandy Alderson, Dusty Baker, Bruce Bochy, Joe Maddon, Lou Piniella, Brian Sabean, the late Ted Turner, and Bill White. A 16-member committee will evaluate the candidates, with each needing at least 75 percent of the vote to secure induction into the Class of 2027.

The ballot highlights legendary figures from modern baseball history, including four-time World Series champion manager Bochy and 2022 champion Baker. Piniella appears on the ballot after falling just one vote short in previous elections, while White is considered for his historic tenure as National League president. The election results will be announced on December 6.
