	Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 2006 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.

	Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1939 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1939 elections to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame were the last ones conducted prior to the Hall's opening that year.
		In the BBWAA election, voters were instructed to cast votes for 10 candidates; any candidate receiving votes on at least 75% of the ballots would be honored with induction to the Hall upon its opening in Cooperstown, New York on June 12 of that year.
		As the opening of the Hall approached, criticism mounted that no 19th century figures who were known primarily as players had yet been selected, when basic plans nearly four years earlier had promised five as an ideal initial number.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Baseball Hall of Fame
		The Hall of Fame was dedicated on June 12, 1939 by the Clark Foundation, a private organization based in Cooperstown that traces its money to the original Singer Sewing Machine Company.
		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.

		The Hall of Fame is often thought of primarily in terms of the latter.
		A legend that U.S. Civil War hero Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown was instrumental in the early marketing of the Hall, though in fact the truth of the story is doubted by some.
		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.

	Baseball Crank: BASEBALL: Hall of Fame, Dale Murphy, Jim Rice, and Kirby Puckett
		LF/DH Jim Rice (51.50% of vote) is at a critical point: with bigger candidates headed to the ballot soon, he needs to sustain the momentum of having received votes from more than half the voters last time around.
		When Bill James devised his questionnaire for Hall of Fame candidates, he described players like Murphy, Schmidt, Mays and Mantle as the type of players who would yield “yes” answers all over the place.
		Unlike a lot of the (deserving) Hall of Famers with short careers, he wasn’t a pitcher or catcher, never managed, and didn’t have his productive years unfairly cut short by war or the color line.

	FBC All-Star Team vs. Fan Balloting All-Star Team - Fantasy Baseball Cafe 2006
		IMO, I would rather have the FBC vote for all stars from now on rather than the fans at stadiums since I think the players taken by FBC have had the best seasons so far.
		When people fill out those ballots, there's probably not any stats they have handy, so they vote for the home-town players and the out-of-towners whose names they recognize.
		I'll agree that Chris Capuano, Brandon Webb and Bronson Arroyo are better options than Tom Glavine to start for the NL along with Carlos Zambrano, Jason Schmidt, Aaron Harang, John Smoltz and Roy Oswalt.
