The Hall affords a second chance to players not elected in BBWAA voting, with committees evaluating players based on the era in which they made their greatest contribution.
The Classic Baseball committee considers players that starred primarily before 1980, allowing legendary figures like Steve Garvey a chance to gain recognition.
Garvey is expected to lose handily in his Senate bid against Rep. Adam Schiff, but he remains a significant figure in baseball history.
Winners from the National Baseball Hall of Fame committee ballot will be inducted next July, showcasing the lasting impact of players like Garvey and Tommy John.
