To begin the winter meetings, MLB Network will exclusively announce the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Contemporary Baseball Era Committee ballot results this Sunday, Dec. 3, on MLB Tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET. The eight candidates who comprise the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee ballot – Cito Gaston, Davey Johnson, Jim Leyland, Ed Montague, Hank Peters, Lou Piniella, Joe West and Bill White – are managers, executives and umpires whose primary contribution to the game came from 1980 to the present. A 16-member committee will consider these candidates’ contributions to the game and any candidate receiving votes on at least 75 percent of all ballots cast will earn induction into the Hall of Fame Class of 2024. Following the Contemporary Baseball Era ballot results, the BBWAA will announce the results of its 2024 Hall of Fame vote live from Cooperstown on Tuesday, Jan. 23, at 6 p.m. ET on MLB Network.
