The Today's Game Era Committee, one of four voting panels that since 2016 had taken over the role of the more broadly-defined Veterans Committee, convened on December 9, 2018, to select from a ballot of retired players and non-playing personnel who made their greatest contributions to the sport after 1987, with Lee Smith and Harold Baines elected by this body. The formal induction ceremony was held at the Hall's facilities in Cooperstown, New York, on July 21, 2019.
