While the Baseball Hall of Fame's Veterans Committee seems content to elect no one to Cooperstown, their poor cousins down the road in Oneonta, the US Soccer Hall of Fame, saw its Veterans Committee actually choose one player, Bobby Smith.
Smith was named on 26 of 52 ballots (50% was the required minimum), all of which belonged to living members of the Hall of Fame. Smith was a three-time NASL MVP and played as a defender on the U.S. National team.
Smith will be inducted along with Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, and Alan Rothenberg.
