Was it The contemporary players eras committee that voted in Dick Allen ? A most deserving man who passed away before his family was able to share that honor with him. And that committee will have the final say on Don Mattingly & Dale Murphy, 2 most deserving gentlemen who also are nearing the finish line.

Dick Allen was elected at last by the Classic Baseball Era Committee in December 2024 and inducted last summer. That committee considers players whose careers occurred in whole or for the most part before 1980. Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy canbe considered by the Contemporary Era Committee (post-1980 players/managers/umpires/etc.) at their next meeting in 2028.

The 2004 World Series only went four games and Keith Foulke (not Embre) threw the final pitch. Also Jhostynyxon’s nickname is Password not Passport.
