COOPERSTOWN, N. Cheap Authentic Shoes Online .Y. -- Baseballs Hall of Fame has again revamped its veterans committees, attempting to increase consideration for more contemporary players, managers, umpires and executives.Under the change announced Saturday by the Halls board of directors, there will be separate committees for Todays Game (1988-2016), Modern Baseball (1970-87), Golden Days (1950-69) and Early Baseball (1871-1949). Todays Game and Modern Baseball will vote twice every five years, Golden Days once every five years and Early Baseball once every 10 years.There are twice as many players in the Hall of Fame who debuted before 1950 as compared to afterward, and yet there are nearly double the eligible candidates after 1950 than prior, Hall chair Jane Forbes Clark said in a statement. Those who served the game long ago and have been evaluated many times on past ballots will now be reviewed less frequently.Todays Game will vote in 2016, `18, `21, and `23, and Modern Baseball in 2017, `19, `21 and `23. Golden Days will vote in 2020 and `25, and Early Baseball in 2020 and `30. The Halls Historical Overview Committee will decide which committee will consider those who span eras, based on the time or place of their most indelible impression.Since 2010, the Hall had established three veterans committees: Pre-Integration Era (1871-1946), Golden Era (1947-72) and Expansion Era (1973-2016). No one was elected by the Pre-Integration Era committee in December.In addition, the Hall eliminated the one-year waiting period between a players last appearance on the Baseball Writers Association of America ballot and his veterans committee debut for consideration. The Hall also said active executives 70 or older may be given consideration, up from 65.Committees will remain at 16 people, with a vote of at least 75 percent needed for election. The ballot size will be 10 for each committee; it had been 12 for Expansion Era and 10 for the others.The BBWAA votes on players who have been retired for at least five years and no more than 15. Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza are to be inducted Sunday.The Hall also changed some of the rules for the Ford C. Frick Award, presented annually to a broadcaster for major contributions to baseball. The committee making the annual decision will consider a three-year cycle of Current Major League Markets (team-specific announcers) for the 2017 award, National Voices for 2018 and Broadcasting Beginnings (early team voices and pioneers) for 2019.Since 2013, the Fricks three-year cycle had been High Tide Era (mid-1980s to present), Living Room Era (mid-1950s to mid-1980) and Broadcasting Dawn Era (before mid-1950s).The criteria will be commitment to excellence, quality of broadcasting abilities, reverence within the game, popularity with fans, and recognition by peers instead of longevity; continuity with a club; honors, including national assignments such as the World Series and All-Star Games; and popularity with fans.The Frick ballot size will be reduced from 10 to eight, and the three ballot spots previously determined by fan voting will be decided by historians.Ozzie Smith, inducted to the Hall in 2002, was voted to the Halls board of directors. Authentic Shoes Wholesale . - Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings was speaking to a group of local high school students earlier this week when the conversation turned to the importance of being prepared when opportunities in life arise. Authentic Shoes For Sale . At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career.

The parade and rally were held to celebrate the Saskatchewan Roughriders 45-23 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday in the CFLs championship game. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- For three quarters at Nebraska last week, Illinois looked like the winner.But the team couldnt finish in the fourth quarter of the 31-16 loss. Its something Illini coach Lovie Smith said his team is still learning how to do, and he hopes can do Saturday against Purdue.Yeah, we were wore down a little bit, Smith said. Were making game improvements, just not that 60 minutes yet.The Illini (1-3, 0-1 Big Ten) dont face quite the same test in the Boilermakers that they did against No. 12 Nebraska. Purdue (2-2, 0-1) is coming to Illinois after a 50-7 conference-opening loss to Maryland. The Boilermakers were down 29-0 at halftime and gave up 400 rushing yards.Boilermaker coach Darrell Hazell acknowledged during the week that pressure is building on him and his team. And he defended at least part of his defenses effort.As crazy as that sounds, they were playing good defense to create plays, creating sacks, and then all of a sudden, bang, a big one would hit us for 50-plus yards, he said.Some things to watch for Saturday as two of the three teams at the bottom of the Big Ten West (Minnesota is the third) match up in Champaign:WHATS AT STAKEA win moves one of these two out of the Big Ten West cellar. Both teams have to look at this as one of the more winnable contests on their schedules, and a must if either has hope of getting to six wins and bowl eligibility. Theres also the Cannon , the trophy the teams have played for each season since 1943.CHANGES IN LUNTAgainst Nebraska, Illinois turned the clock back to run more of the no-huddle, spread offense quarterback Wes Lunt and the Illini were accustomed to the past few years. Offensive coordinator Garrick McGee said he was adapting to the personnel he has.But McGee also pusheed for changes in Lunt, saying the quarterback needed to do whatever it takes to win, including running. Cheap Authentic Shoes Free Shipping. Lunt almost never runs. His career high is 5 yards in the Nebraska game.McGee guessed that somewhere along the line Lunt was told he isnt a runner, something the senior quarterback said was essentially right.I think just kind of growing up and playing, Ive never been told to run. I was basically kind of labeled as a passer, Lunt said.KEY MATCHUPPurdue quarterback David Blough is second in the Big Ten in passing yards at 269.5 a game, and he doesnt take many sacks. The Boilermakers have allowed just seven sacks in four games. Purdues pass protection should be tested by the Illini, who are third in the Big Ten with 13 sacks. Carrol Phillips, who leads Illinois with four sacks, left the Nebraska game with a knee injury. Smith this week would only say it isnt long term.ON THE GROUNDIllinois moved redshirt freshman Reggie Corbin to a starting running back role against Nebraska and he responded with nine carries for 72 yards. But the man he replaced might like his chances against Purdue. KeShawn Vaughn had a big day in Illinois 48-14 win last season over the Boilermakers, carrying the ball 16 times for 180 yards and two touchdowns.PURDUE GROUND GAMEWhile the Boilermakers have a habit of giving up big rushing yards, theyve found the going tough when they have the ball. Purdue had just 10 yards rushing against Maryland and is averaging 135 yards a game on the ground.---Follow David Mercer on Twitter: (at)davidmercerAP---Online: Associated Press college football coverage: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
