Starting with elections for induction in <a href="/wiki/2008_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_balloting" title="2008 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting">2008</a>, voting on the main Veterans Committee, which then selected only players whose careers began in 1943 or later, was restricted to Hall of Fame members. After further changes announced for the <a href="/wiki/2011_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_balloting" title="2011 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting">2011</a> and <a href="/wiki/2017_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_balloting" title="2017 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting">2017</a> elections, BBWAA Career Excellence Award winners are eligible to serve on all of the era-based voting bodies that succeeded the Veterans Committee (and are still colloquially referred to as such). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Recipients">Recipients</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=BBWAA_Career_Excellence_Award&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Recipients"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Through 2006, the BBWAA designated honorees based on the <i>announcement</i> year (typically in December). In the below table, winners through 2006 are listed with both their announcement year, and their induction <i>ceremony</i> year (the ensuing summer). In 2007, the BBWAA changed the year designation for the award to coincide with the induction ceremony. Thus, while the official BBWAA year designations jump from 2006 to 2008, the award has been bestowed annually since inception, except for one year missed due to the <a href="/wiki/1994%E2%80%9395_Major_League_Baseball_strike" title="1994–95 Major League Baseball strike">1994–95 Major League Baseball strike</a>. </p><p>From 1972 through 1981, there were multiple honorees each year. This again occurred in 1988 and 1992. Since that time, there has been a single winner each year. </p><p>Through 2010, the award was presented during the actual induction ceremony; since then, it has been presented at the Hall of Fame awards presentation, held the day before the induction ceremony. In recent years, the Hall of Fame has announced the finalists for the award and final vote totals. Previously, such detail was not made public, with only the winner announced. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a
