The candidates for the post-1943 Veteran's Committee ballot were announced today.
Joe Torre
Ron Santo
Gil Hodges
Dick Allen
Jim Kaat
Luis Tiant
Tony Oliva
Vada Pinson
Al Oliver
Maury Wills
I'm not sure if managerial records are allowed to be considered, but I'll assume they aren't. I'd vote yes for Torre and Santo, and probably Allen although I'm a bit undecided on him.

They can use managerial record in their considerations. I'd put Torre, Kaat, Santo Hodges, and Oliva in.

It's confusing because the voting rules say they can, but they split up the ballots to "Players" and "Managers/Umpires".
