	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.

	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.

		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.
		To allow the election of Casey Stengel in 1966, the Hall of Fame revised its rules to allow consideration of a candidate after six months of retirement, if he has reached the age of 65.
