	Baseball Hall of Fame Balloting, 1944 Encyclopedia Article @ Pitched.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		There was no regular election in 1944 to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame; in 1939 the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) had moved to hold elections every three years rather than annually, and the next scheduled election was to be in 1945.
		Two weeks after Landis' death, the Old-Timers Committee met at baseball's winter meetings in New York City and unanimously moved to elect Landis to membership in the Hall of Fame; Connie Mack sent his approval of the move by telegram from California, where he was vacationing.
		Landis was formally inducted into the Hall of Fame on June 13, 1946, with New York Governor Thomas Dewey unveiling his plaque in Cooperstown.

	Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1946 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1946 elections to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame marked a dramatic revision of the methods used one year earlier.
		Because the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) had failed to elect any candidates in 1945, and had elected only one player since 1939, the previous delay of three years between elections had been eliminated in September 1945 by the Hall of Fame Committee, and annual elections restored.
		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; former Yankees president Ed Barrow; Athletics owner/manager Connie Mack; former Braves president Bob Quinn; and Boston sportswriter Mel Webb.

	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.
		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.
		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.

		The 1947 election to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame again followed a major revision of the methods used one year earlier.
		Whereas the 1946 system required a second ballot before electing a candidate, now a second runoff election featuring the top 20 candidates, with the potential to select no more than one player, would be held only if no candidate received votes from 75% of the writers in the first election.
		Just as in the elections prior to 1946, 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.

		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.

		Frankie Frisch was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1947.
		After no players had been selected by the writers in the previous two years (the only elections since Hornsby's selection in 1942), the rules were revised to limit eligibility to those players who had retired after 1921; Frisch was among the first four players to benefit from the more reasonable field of candidates.
		In 1999, he ranked number 88 on The Sporting News list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players, and was a nominee for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.

	Postseason heroics - Baseball Fever
		Branching off from the Schilling discussion, I tend to think that memorable playoff performances are sometimes enough to place a questionable candidate over the top for HOF consideration.
		There have been all kinds of analytical approaches to who's in the Hall of Fame and who isn't and why, but the bottom line is you get into the Hall of Fame by getting into the minds and memories of those who vote.
		Winning the WS is the ultimate goal and if a guy does something special to get his teammates a ring, then that should give his regular season stats a boost.

	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.
