Former St. Louis Cardinals Manager Whitey Herzog and Umpire Doug Harvey were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee on Monday.
Herzog won the 1982 World Series and three NL pennants with the St. Louis Cardinals and three division titles with Kansas City.
Harvey umpired in the National League for 31 seasons before retiring in 1992. He worked five World Series and six All-Star games, and handled more than 4,600 games overall.
The 79-year-old Harvey was picked on 15 of 16 ballots this time, becoming the ninth umpire in the Hall.
The two will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame on July 25.
