Hall of Fame to announce Contemporary Era ballot results tonight
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are among the eight players on this year’s Era Committee ballot unveiled on Nov. 3 by the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The voting results will be announced live tonight on MLB Network at 7:30 ET, with coverage beginning at 7. It will also be streamed live on MLB.com and in the MLB App. Bonds, Clemens, Carlos Delgado, Jeff Kent, Don Mattingly, Dale Murphy, Gary Sheffield and Fernando Valenzuela comprise the Contemporary Baseball Era player ballot, which focuses on players whose primary contributions to the game came since 1980. Candidates need to receive votes on 75% of the ballots cast by the 16-member committee to become part of the 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame Class. The Hall of Fame on Tuesday revealed the names of the members of the voting committee: Hall of Famers Fergie Jenkins, Jim Kaat, Juan Marichal, Tony Pérez, Ozzie Smith, Alan Trammell and Robin Yount; MLB executives Mark Attanasio, Doug Melvin, Arte Moreno, Kim Ng, Tony Reagins and Terry Ryan; and media members/historians Steve Hirdt, Tyler Kepner and Jayson Stark.
