The Hall welcomed two dominant sluggers to its gallery on Sunday, with Allen and Parker gaining election through an era committee vote.

Allen, a seven-time All-Star and the 1964 National League Rookie of the Year with the Phillies, will be posthumously inducted next year.

Dick Allen and Dave Parker were announced as the newest Hall of Fame inductees on Sunday night. They received at least 12 votes from the 16-person committee. The Classic Era ballot featured players, managers, umpires and executives whose primary contribution to the game came before 1980.
