Steve Garvey may not be elected to the Senate. How about Baseball HOF?

Steve Garvey is on the ballot Tuesday — and again next month.

On Election Day: Garvey, the longtime Dodgers star, against Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank) for a U.S. Senate seat representing California.

Garvey is expected to lose significantly. He spent one of the final days of the season attending the Dodgers' world championship celebration.

However, Garvey will be up for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in December.

The Hall announced Monday that Garvey and former Dodgers teammate Tommy John are two of eight candidates selected for this year's Classic Baseball Era ballot.

Candidates must receive 75% of the vote from a committee appointed by the House. All winners will be announced Dec. 8 and inducted into Cooperstown next July. The Baseball Writers Assn. of America votes on recently retired players; These results will be announced in January and all winners will be announced in July next year.

Joining Garvey and John in the committee vote are: Dick Allen, Ken Boyer, Dave Parker, Luis Tiant and Negro League standouts John Donaldson and Vic Harris.

The Hall offers a second chance to players who were not selected on the BBWAA ballot, with committees evaluating players based on the era in which they made their greatest contribution.

The Classic Baseball Committee considers players who primarily played before 1980. The Contemporary Baseball Committee considers players who appeared primarily after 1980, such as Fernando Valenzuela. This committee will make its next selection in 2025.

The committee last met in 2023 to consider this ballot: Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Albert Belle, Don Mattingly, Fred McGriff, Dale Murphy, Rafael Palmeiro and Curt Schilling. The committee this year was largely made up of Hall of Fame members and executives from major league teams.

Bonds, the only seven-time most valuable player in major league history, and Clemens, the only seven-time Cy Young winner, have both been linked to the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

The only player chosen by this committee: McGriff.
