Luis Tiant Among Candidates for Posthumous Hall of Fame Induction

The Classic Baseball Era Committee will vote on December 8, with Tiant's family facing mixed emotions over a potential induction.

Luis Tiant, a renowned pitcher with 229 career wins, is one of eight players on the Classic Baseball Era Committee ballot for Hall of Fame induction.
Tiant, who passed away in October, had been rejected 21 times previously, raising questions about the timing and significance of a posthumous induction.
The ballot includes former MLB players Steve Garvey, Tommy John, and Dave Parker, as well as Negro League stars John Donaldson and Vic Harris.
To be inducted, a candidate must receive at least 12 votes from the 16-member committee, with the results announced at the Baseball Winter Meetings on December 8.
Tiant's family is conflicted about attending a potential induction ceremony, as he had expressed a desire for them not to participate if inducted after his death.
