National Baseball Hall of Fame When the inaugural Hall of Fame ballots were counted in 1936, five players had received at least 75% of the votes cast - the standard set for election by the Baseball Writers' Association of America that still exists today. Among the Ruth items included in the Hall of Fame collections are his locker from Yankee Stadium, the bat he used to hit his 60th home run in 1927, the baseball from his 500th home run, his bowling ball and bowling shoes. His Hall of Fame plaque states he was the "greatest drawing card in (the) history of baseball." Until he came along, team's played for one run and long-ball hitters were considered anomalies. www.baseballhalloffame.org /history/first5/default.htm

Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1937 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) were once again given authority to select any players active in the 20th century; but the unsuccessful 1936 Veterans Committee election for 19th century players led to a smaller Centennial Commission choosing a handful of inductees whose contributions were largely as non-players. Again, individuals who had been barred from baseball were not formally ineligible; Hal Chase received some votes, though Shoeless Joe Jackson did not.

VHOF: The rec.sport.baseball Virtual Hall of Fame The Virtual Hall of Fame was "established in 1921" by Commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis as a way of reviving interest in baseball after the 1919 Series fix was exposed in 1920. Each picture is also a link to biographical information about that player, usually courtesy of the Baseball Hall of Fame. I had been frustrated by the chaos of the election process for the real Hall of Fame, as well as my view that the choices were not as astute as rsbb participants might make based on their passionate interest in baseball history. doug.obscurestuff.com /vhof.html

Futility Infielder • AROUND THE BASES The Hall of Fame is a deeply flawed institution which has been particularly sullied by dubious choices on the part of the Veterans Committee, especially when it comes to the hitter-happy 1930s. Let's face it: between Fingers being elected and Mariano Rivera getting in someday (and I'm pretty damn sure he will), some of these other guys are worthy of enshrinement and the construction of a standard for what constitutes a Hall of Fame relief pitcher. While I had the Wizard on my ballot, the announcement that he was the only one to do so felt anticlimactic after all of the spirited debate I've partaken in online over the past few weeks. www.futilityinfielder.com /archives/2002_01_06_futility_archive.shtml

ESPN.com: MLB - June 2001 Archives Major League Baseball's All-Star Balloting Program, the largest in professional sports, encompasses Claritin in-stadium balloting at all 30 Major League ballparks, RadioShack online balloting at MLB.com and RadioShack.com, Pepsi retail balloting at Kroger Grocery Stores and international balloting throughout Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Japan and the Dominican Republic. Baseball has a responsibility to its fans, and so we have a right to know where the votes are coming from." I'm not begrudging Japanese baseball fans the right to vote for Major League Baseball's All-Stars -- well, maybe I'm a little begrudging -- but is it fair to the non-Mariners on the ballot, when nearly every game played by the Seattle Mariners -- alone among the 30 major-league clubs -- is telecast back in Japan? www.espn.go.com /mlb/s/2001/0605/1209777.html

HickokSports.com - History - 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. www.hickoksports.com /history/basebhof.shtml

Baker Bowl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Chicago Tribune ran a series of articles on baseball parks during the summer of 1937, and the article about Baker Bowl was merciless in its ridicule of this park.
