		Although the schedule remains at 162 games to this day, the layout of games played was changed when Divisional play began in 1969, so that teams played more games against opponents within their own division than against the other division or (beginning in 1997) the other league.
		The remaining position players and all of the pitchers on each league's roster were, for a large number of years, solely at the discretion of that team's manager.

		If that had happened, and with no Veterans Committee voting this year, player-wise the annual induction ceremony would have been limited to whatever long-dead Negro leaguers may be chosen in March by a special committee to examine their credentials on a one-time-only basis.
		There is no doubt his election was fueled by the relative weakness of this year’s class of ballot first timers, among which only Orel Hershiser (58 votes and 11.2-percent support) and Albert Belle (40 and 7.7) received the minimum 5-percent support required to remain on the ballot for 2007.
		As noted in my preview article for this year’s voting, which appeared on this web site earlier this month, support for ballot holdovers tends to rise when the first-year class is weak.

		A relief pitcher or reliever is a baseball or softball pitcher who enters the game after the starting pitcher is removed due to injury, ineffectiveness and/or fatigue.
		Relievers are further divided informally into closers, middle relief pitchers, left-handed specialists, set-up pitchers and long relievers.
