	National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum - BaseballWiki - A Wikia wiki
		The Hall of Fame is often thought of primarily in terms of the latter.
		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.
		An ongoing controversy facing the Hall of Fame is that of the status of Joe Jackson and Pete Rose.

	Archived Weblog Entry - 03/19/2003: "Cooperstown Confidential; by Bruce Markusen"
		At the time, the writers were in the midst of holding their regular Hall of Fame election, and about 30 writers had already returned ballots with Clemente’s name written in, even though no decision had been made on his eligibility.
		On January 3, the Hall of Fame’s Board of Directors announced that it had amended its eligibility rules in the case of Clemente, and would allow the baseball writers to hold a special election.
		To me, we in baseball had simply lost one of the greatest players that we’ve had, one of the greatest personalities that we had, and the tragedy of it was still, I think, in my mind.

	Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1945 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1945 elections to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame included the first regular election to be conducted in three years, and only the second since 1939; in that year, the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) had moved to hold elections every three years rather than annually.
		The committee members were: Hall of Fame president Stephen C. Clark, who chaired the committee; Hall of Fame treasurer Paul S. Kerr, the committee secretary; Yankees president Ed Barrow; Athletics owner/manager Connie Mack; New York sportswriter Sid Mercer; Braves president Bob Quinn; and Boston sportswriter Mel Webb.
		Therefore, their selections that year tended to strongly favor the period between 1893 (when baseball moved the pitcher back 10 feet from the plate) and 1910; all ten of their selections were active players in 1893 or later, and seven were active after 1900.

	‘Ambassador’ Buck O’Neil
		Baseball aficionados have long known of the accomplishments of Buck O’Neil but it was his captivating interviews in Burns’ 1994 documentary that placed him in the wider public consciousness.
		In February of this year, the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame convened a special committee of baseball historians and experts to elect a group of Negro League and pre-Negro League players into the Hall of Fame.
		Surely as the founder of the Negro League Baseball Hall of Fame, a championship player and manager for the Monarchs, the first African American coach in Major League Baseball, and as a widely acknowledged ambassador for the sport until the time of his death, O’Neil merited induction to the hallowed halls of Cooperstown.

		There was a time in baseball’s past when players routinely stuck with one team for most, if not all, of their careers and nobody thought twice about it.
		If the Hall of Fame is for the famous, then Bruce Sutter belongs in spades, as the first practitioner of a pitch that changed the game the hard forkball known as the split-fingered fastball.

		It seems to me the same criteria apply to the Hall of Fame as would apply for a single season MVP -- at least for a position player.
		Another 25 members of the Hall of Fame had a single "career year" for which they were voted league MVP once (1931 or later).
		These are the players who played most of their careers after 1930 and who were voted to the Hall of Fame --but were never voted #1 or #2 in the annual MVP balloting: Wade Boggs, Carlton Fisk, Goose Goslin, Ralph Kiner, Mel Ott, Bill Terry, Arky Vaughn, and Dave Winfield.

	Baseball Almanac - Remembering Yesterday's Heroes : Phil Cavarretta - The Hustling Cub Starred in Three World Series
		Hall of Famer Charlie Gehringer once discussed the 1935 World Series and said, "Every time I see (Phil) Cavarretta I say, 'You killed me. You kept me from being a hero." Fellow hall of famer Ralph Kiner said, "Phil hated to lose and he was very honest, and that was the reason he got fired."
		In fact, he played baseball with an intensity which was not otherwise apparent in his agreeable temperament.
		But before that World Series, Cavarretta had proven to be what baseball scouts often call a "phenom." Born on July 19, 1916, into a working class Italian family on Chicago's near North Side, Phil grew up a stone's throw from Hell's Kitchen, an area with tough living conditions, violent crime, and few opportunities.
