I'm a big Hall, peak value guy so I'd vote for Minoso, Tiant, Boyer and probably Oliva. If I looked at **** Allen's B-R page, I could probably be convinced about him as well.The 10-person ballot for consideration by this year’s Golden Era Committee consists of **** Allen, Ken Boyer, Gil Hodges, Bob Howsam, Jim Kaat, Minnie Minoso, Tony Oliva, Billy Pierce, Luis Tiant and Maury Wills.
Kaat (10 votes in 2011), Hodges (9 votes), Minoso (9 votes), Oliva (8 votes), Boyer (less than 3 votes) and Tiant (less than three votes) return to the ballot after appearing in the fall in 2011 in the first vote of the Golden Era Committee. Allen, Howsam, Pierce and Wills will be considered by the Golden Era Committee for the first time.
The 16-person Golden Era Committee, which is reconstituted each time it meets, consists of Hall of Famers Jim Bunning, Rod Carew, Pat Gillick, Ferguson Jenkins, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Ozzie Smith and Don Sutton; baseball executives Jim Frey, David Glass, Roland Hemond and Bob Watson; and veteran media members Steve Hirdt, **** Kaegel, Phil Pepe and Tracy Ringolsby.
Howsam seems like the oddball here. I don't know how much credit he deserves for putting together for the Big Red Machine. The core team was already in place.and fleecing Spec Richardson isn't a great feat.
