The story
The Baseball Writers' Association of America elected Carlton Fisk and Tony Pérez to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on 11 January 2000. The Hall's official retrospective identifies the two former players as the BBWAA selections in the Class of 2000.
How it unfolded
Fisk secured election on his second appearance on the ballot, while Pérez was elected on his ninth. The decision was a completed honours and governance outcome, distinct from the later July induction ceremony, so this archive records the January election as one underlying development.
The wider picture
A contemporaneous CBS/AP report corroborates the election date and successful ballots. iintroo separates the verified announcement date from the later archive-addition timestamp and does not reproduce source prose or add unverified claims about the voting process.
