Induction weekend is scheduled for July 23-26 and will include the 2020 inductees, led by Derek Jeter and Larry Walker, since this past year's ceremony was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Among the returning names on the ballot this year are Curt Schilling (70% of the vote last year) and Roger Clemens (61%), outfielder Barry Bonds (60.7%) and shortstop Omar Vizquel (52.6%).
