  Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2005 elections to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame proceeded in keeping with rules enacted in 2001.
Balloting was conducted by mail in January 2005, with voters permitted to vote for up to 10 candidates from the ballot of 25 individuals; all candidates who received at least 75% of the vote would be elected.
Hall of Fame chairwoman Jane Forbes Clark responded to the Committee's failure to elect anyone by saying: "The results of the last two elections show that the writers – by and large – have done a great job of electing players to the Hall of Fame.

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.
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.

 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.

 Most Prestigeous Hall of Fame? - Baseball Fever
Baseball has had a long and well documented history, whereas football didn't really get going until the 1920s, and it still really wasn't until the 50's and 60's that football really began to etch a place for itself in the American consciousness.
However, I think the football Hall of Fame has been gaining in recent years due to it really supplanting baseball as America's favorite sport in the past 20-30 years.
These are sports halls of fame, NOT life halls of fame.
