COOPERSTOWN, N.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.Roquan Smith Youth Jersey .

Woodson said during a radio interview Thursday that the Knicks Carmelo Anthony doesnt get the same calls as other superstars.Having picked themselves off the mat at the foot of the Premier League, Stoke City try to make it seven unbeaten Saturday when they host Bournemouth at bet365 Stadium.The Potters (3-4-4) endured a ghastly start to the season with one point from their first five matches, shipping 14 goals in the process. But Mark Hughes made some needed adjustments to the defence, and Stoke have claimed 12 points from their last six matches to climb to 12th in the table, trailing Southampton and West Bromwich Albion on goal difference.The first five games or however long it was, we didnt really show how well were capable of doing in the games, midfielder Glenn Whelan told Stoke City Player. We just werent getting the luck that we needed but we knew that we were a good side.Weve got good players and we knew itd turn; people are talking now about us being six unbeaten and its really good. It goes to show how good a squad weve got and how food we are as a dressing room to turn things around.It also helps when players are bagging goals two at a time.Prior to their 1-1 draw against West Ham United before the international break, Joe Allen, Xherdan Shaqiri and Wilfried Bony all had braces to power the Potters to victories. While it didnt happen against the Hammers, it is clear theyve improved their game on both sides -- Stoke have outscored opponents 10-4 during their purple patch.One player, however, who has yet to find his bearings is striker Marko Arnautovic, who sat out the West Ham match due to yellow card accumulation. After leading Stoke City with 12 goals in all competitions last season, the Austria international has one goal in league play, two overall and has failed to score in his last six matches for club and country following a qualifier against Ireland and a friendly versus Croatia during the break.Bournemouth (3-3-5) are nipping at Stokes heels in 13th place, one point back, but unlike the Potters, the international break came at an ideal time for the Cherries. After a splendid two-match spell in which they smashed Hull City 6-1 and held Tottenham Hotspur to a scoreless draw, Eddie Howes men stumbled with back-to-back losses to Middlesbrouugh and previously winless and last-place Sunderland.dddddddddddd.Having lost back-to-back games, it could be a good time for us to reflect and work hard on the training ground to try and put some things right, captain Steve Francis said. But make no mistake, we would have loved to get some points from the last two games because theres some tough games coming up.Following this match, the Cherries travel to London to face Arsenal before hosting table-toppers Liverpool on Dec. 4, and also play reigning champions Leicester City in a midweek clash Dec. 13 after playing at Burnley three days prior.While much has been made of Jack Wilshires impact on the team following his arrival from the Gunners before the close of the transfer window, getting forward Joshua King going would also prove beneficial to Bournemouth. He has goals in his last two appearances for Norway but has gone without one in four Premier League contests since netting versus Watford on Oct. 1.The break in league play also led to midfielder Harry Arter making his first competitive appearance for Ireland as they defeated Austria in a qualifier Saturday.It was nice to get away to a bit of a different environment for a while. It took my mind off the disappointing results weve had in the last few games, he told Bournemouths official website. To get the win with Ireland gives you that extra boost of confidence. Im looking forward to the weekend and hopefully we can get back on track at Stoke.The Cherries are 6-6-12 on the road since earning promotion for last season but winless in their last seven (0-2-5) outside Vitality Stadium since beating hapless Aston Villa 2-1 on April 9.The Potters did the double over Bournemouth last season, including a 2-1 victory in the corresponding fixture as Mame Dioufs goal seven minutes from time proved to be the match-winner. Stoke also ran out 3-1 winners in the most recent fixture in February, getting goals from Giannelli Imbula, Ibrahim Afellay and Joselu before Matthew Ritchie pulled one back for the Cherries. ' ' '
