Not likely. The last Veterans Committe ballot included: Dick Allen, Bobby Bonds, Ken Boyer, Rocky Colavito, Wes Ferrell, Curt Flood, Joe Gordon, Gil Hodges, Elston Howard, Jim Kaat, Mickey Lolich, Sparky Lyle, Marty Marion, Roger Maris, Carl Mays, Minnie Minoso, Thurman Munson, Don Newcombe, Tony Oliva, Vada Pinson, Ron Santo, Luis Tiant, Joe Torre, Maury Wills, Smoky Joe Wood. None appear in OJ. Best candidates from OJ in my mind are Bobby Mathews 297-248 2.89 ERA, 40+ wins in 1 season, 30+ wins in 4 seasons; and Tony Mullane 284-220 3.05 ERA, 30+ wins in 5 seasons. Neither seem probable in view of the new tight VC rules. SR
