Garvey, Morris, John on ballot for Hall

Former stars Steve Garvey, Jack Morris and Tommy John and longtime players’ union chief Marvin Miller are among the 10 names on the ballot for a Hall of Fame election next month.

The candidates were announced Monday. Results will be released Dec. 10 at the baseball winter meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
