Hall of Fame: Longtime Giants first baseman Will Clark and former A’s outfielder Harold Baines get another chance.

First baseman Will Clark, a beloved San Francisco Giant who got little love from Hall of Fame voters after he retired, is getting another chance.

So is outfielder Harold Baines, who spent just three of his 22 major-league seasons with the A’s, but helped them reach the 1990 World Series and 1992 American League Championship Series.

Clark and Baines are among 10 up for consideration — players, managers and one owner — by a yet-unseated, 16-member veterans committee, which will deliberate Dec. 8 and 9 and announce any new Hall of Famers on the ninth at the winter meetings. Candidates need 12 votes for induction.

The other players are outfielder Joe Carter and pitcher Orel Hershiser, who each spent a sliver of their careers with the Giants; Lee Smith, who once held the all-time saves record; and outfielder Albert Belle.

Yankees owner George Steinbrenner will be considered, as will managers Charlie Manuel, Lou Piniella and Davey Johnson.

The 10 were nominated by a committee consisting mostly of longtime baseball writers, including former Chronicle sports editor Glenn Schwarz.

When Clark was first eligible for the Hall in 2006, he got very little support from writers. Clark spent the first eight of his 15 big-league seasons with the Giants. He finished with a .303 career batting average and 284 home runs. He was knocked off the ballot when he fell just shy of the requisite 5 percent of the vote.

Baines (career: .289, 384 homers) lasted five ballots, but barely, receiving no more than 6.1 percent.

This will be Clark’s second try on the veterans committee. He was nominated in 2016 but failed to get the necessary votes.

“I’m very happy and we'll see how the vote goes,” Clark said Monday.

Asked if it was hard to get his hopes up after twice being denied, he said, “I would love to be in the Hall of Fame, but that’s not the reason I started playing baseball. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, and I’m trying to look at it very succinctly that there are some other really good ballplayers on the list.”

The Hall of Fame alternates among four eras for veterans committee induction. This year’s era is considered “today’s game,” covering 1988 to the present.
