The class was determined by a sixteen member committee that narrowed their final list to twenty three before casting their final votes for this year’s inductees. In order to be inducted, nominees must receive a 75% “yes” vote by the committee. This year marks the first time in nearly a decade that the the Hall of Fame inducted a class.
