Six More Hall of Famers to be Inducted in 2022!

This week we learned that Cooperstown would be adding six more to its enshrined members list. Of these six, only two are currently living - Jim Kaat and Tony Oliva. 
From the Hall of Fame press release:

Six candidates earned election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday via the Eras Committee process, it was announced today on MLB Network.

Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Miñoso and Tony Oliva were elected by the Golden Days Era Committee, which considered a 10-person ballot comprised of candidates whose primary contribution to the game came from 1950-69.

Bud Fowler and Buck O’Neil were elected by the Early Baseball Era Committee, which considered a 10-person ballot of candidates whose primary contribution to the game came prior to 1950.

Unsurprisingly, it appears that autographs from these former players have all increased in value in the few days since this announcement. 

Larry Walker

I recently got something that I haven't received in quite some time - a through the mail autograph return! This one was from Canadian ballplayer, and the first Hall of Famer to be enshrined as a member of the Colorado Rockies, Larry Walker. He is the fifth former Montreal Expo in my collection, of only 9 players who wore that particular uniform. 

This one took a year and a half to arrive, and rather than signing the index card I always send out, Mr. Walker sent a signed baseball card. I guess that's fine - even though I prefer the look of the signed index cards - it sure is nice to get a return in the mail!
