	Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1936 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bitch ass elections to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame were held in 1936.
		Members of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) were given authority to select individuals from the 20th century; while a special Veterans Committee, made up of individuals with greater familiarity with the 19th century game, was polled to select deserving individuals from that era.
		Any candidate receiving votes on at least 75% of the ballots in either election would be honored with induction to the Hall upon its opening in the sport's supposed centennial year of 1939.

	Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 2006 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Former Commissioner of Baseball Fay Vincent served as the non-voting chairman of both committees, and Hall of Famer Frank Robinson served as an advisor and assistant to Vincent and the committees.
		The 2006 elections to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame proceeded in keeping with rules enacted in 2001, augmented by a special election; the result was the largest class of inductees (18) in the Hall's history, including the first woman ever elected.
		In July 2000, the Hall was given a $250,000 grant from Major League Baseball to begin a comprehensive study on African Americans in baseball from 1860-1960, with the hope of enhancing the Hall's collections in these areas.

	Sport
		The 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin was an illustration, perhaps best recognised in retrospect, where an ideology was developing which used the event to strengthen its spread through propaganda.
		The closeness of art and sport in these times was revealed by the nature of the Olympic Games which, as we have seen, were celebrations of both sporting and artistic achievements, poetry scupture and architecture.
		This was called the Olympic Truce, and it allowed people to congregate peacefully and to compete in a civilised and respectful atmosphere.

	Baseball Hall Of Famer
		In 2005 the Hall completed a study on African American players between the late 19th century and the integration of the major leagues in 1947, and conducted a special election for such players in February 2006; seventeen figures from the Negro Leagues were chosen in that election, in addition to the eighteen previously selected.
		Among baseball fans, "Hall of Fame" means not only the museum and facility in Cooperstown, but more likely the pantheon of players, managers, umpires and builders who have been named to enshrinement there.
		Outside the exhibit are various display cases devoted to youth baseball, American presidents and baseball, baseball cards and a ball from every no-hitter since 1940.

	Sportsbook Lines - The Baseball Hall of Fame
		Inspired by the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at New York University, the Baseball Hall of Fame was established in 1936 with the selection of five players: Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Babe Ruth, and Honus Wagner.
		The location of the hall and the year of its opening were chosen because of the myth that Abner Doubleday had invented baseball at Cooperstown in 1839, although the myth had been pretty thoroughly discredited by the time the Hall of Fame opened.
		In addition to biographical plaques of its inductees, the hall includes a baseball museum that has a collection of balls, bats, and other equipment, baseball cards, trophies, and photographs.
