On Wednesday, Jan. 18, the Baseball Writers' Association of America will unveil their list of inductees to the 2017 Class to baseball’s Hall of Fame.

Nineteen players join a list of 15 returning stars on the 2017 ballot. Among the new names are sluggers Manny Ramirez, Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez, and Vladimir Guerrero.

The list of eligible players includes the controversial names of Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling.

Among the 15 players with waning chances of entry are Tim Raines, on this 10th and final ballot, and former Brave Fred McGriff, a five-time All-Star with two home run titles. McGriff is on the ballot for an eighth year.

Players need 75 percent of the vote for induction.

The 2017 Class will be inducted into Cooperstown on July 30, along with Today's Game Era electees: Former Braves GM John Schuerholz and former baseball commissioner Bud Selig.
