Dave Parker<\/a> is among eight players being reconsidered for the Baseball Hall of Fame on a special Classic Baseball Era ballot. The \u201cClassic Baseball Era\u201d is the period before 1980. The players on the ballot all began their careers prior to 1980, even though some spilled over into the 1990s. Successful candidates must be on 75 percent of the ballots cast by the Era Committee, which comprises 16 individuals who are either Hall of Famers, executives, or media. According to the National Baseball Hall of Fame website, \u201cThe Era Committees, formerly known as the Veterans Committee, consider retired Major League players no longer eligible for election by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, along with managers, umpires and executives, whose greatest contributions to the game were realized either prior to 1980 or after 1980.\u201d Apparently, those who made great contributions to the game in<\/em> 1980 are out of luck.<\/p>\n
