Our historian-in-residence Adrian Burgos, Jr. reports back from this winter's Era Committee Meetings, which saw six players including Buck O'Neil and Minnie Miñoso voted into Cooperstown. Adrian shares his unique perspective on his work as a committee member during this process as well as his past experience on the 2006 Special Committee on the Negro Leagues. We ponder voting structures and motivations in between our transparent and mostly unfruitful attempts to elicit the hottest gossip from behind the scenes.
