Hosted by Adam Darowski of Baseball Reference, Building the Ballot covers takes a deep dive into candidates for the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Era Committees. The Era Committee process replaced the old Veterans Committee process for the 2011 election. This podcast covers the Classic Baseball Era (beginning of time until 1979) and the Contemporary Baseball Era (1980 to present, split into a players ballot and a non-players ballot).

Episode 23: Contemporary Era Non-Players and Rule B Candidates with Cooperstown Dave

Today we welcome David Metter, aka Cooperstown Dave, to the show. David is a Baseball Hall of Fame enthusiast and previously ran the Vlad4HOF Twitter account. He has since pivoted the account (due to Vlad’s successful induction) to a general Hall of Fame account. He has recently been tweeting about non-player candidates and “Rule B” candidates (“Those whose careers entailed involvement in multiple categories”). Non-players are not my expertise, and since the upcoming ballot is all about non-players it seemed like a great reason to get Dave on the show.

We discuss the current Hall of Fame landscape for managers, umpires, executives, and pioneers as well as the top candidates for this upcoming ballot.
