Dodgers legend Valenzuela is again denied induction into Hall of Fame
Los Angeles Times
|December 08, 2025
A Chavez Ravine dream was yet again dashed on Sunday.
Fernando Valenzuela was once more denied induction to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Fourteen months removed from his death at the age of 63 in October 2024, and 27 years removed from the end of a pitching career measured by more than just wins, losses and ERA, Valenzuela failed to be elected for the 2026 Hall of Fame class by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee — a 16-person group that once every three years considers players from the 1980s or later who had not been elected to the Hall through the traditional media vote.
Needing 12 votes from that committee to attain Hall of Fame status, Valenzuela instead came up short by receiving fewer than five.
Because Valenzuela didn’t receive five votes, he will be ineligible to be back on the Contemporary Era Committee’s ballot in 2028. The next time the committee could review his case won't be until 2031.
Until then, his name will remain among the most notable snubs from Hall of Fame induction.
