The Era Committee process replaced the old Veterans Committee process for the 2011 election.

S1E13: The Next Tier of Negro League Candidates with Kevin Johnson of Seamheads

The Era Committee elections may be over, but that doesn't mean I've stopped thinking about them. Since we last chatted, Eric Chalek's Negro League MLEs have been added to the Hall of Stats to power Hall Rating for Negro League candidates. Kevin Johnson of Seamheads joins the podcast to talk about the best Negro League (and Latin) candidates outside the Hall of Fame. MLE Hall Rating frames the discussion, but we're really just learning about candidate after candidate. Some you may know (like Sam Bankhead, Sam Jethroe, or Newt Allen). Some you may not (like Carlos Morán, Bill Pettus, and Leon Kellman).
