Former Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig and longtime executive John Schuerholz became the newest members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame after being elected on Sunday to the museum in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Major League Baseball's ninth Commissioner and the current president of the Atlanta Braves were among 10 baseball greats -- five players, two managers and three executives -- who were on the ballot under consideration by the 16-person Today's Game Era Committee, the latest iteration of the Veterans' Committee format.

The pair will be inducted in the Class of 2017 on July 30 behind the Clark Sports Center, along with anyone elected from the annual ballot sent last month to voting members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

The announcement of the rest of the class will occur on Jan. 18
