  Baseball Hall of Fame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Among baseball fans, "Hall of Fame" means not only the museum and facility in Cooperstown, but also the pantheon of players, managers, umpires and builders who have been named to enshrinement there.
Players are currently inducted into the Hall of Fame through election by either the Baseball Writers Association of America (or BBWAA), or the Veterans Committee, which is now composed of living Hall of Famers and recipients of the two major awards.
An ongoing controversy facing the Hall of Fame is that of the status of Joe Jackson and Pete Rose.

During this time, 8 players were electedwhose Hall of Fame credentials were (at best) tenuous, but who had played with Frisch or Terry with the New York Giants or St Louis Cardinals.
(Baseball's Rule 21 mandates permanentbanishment from the sport for having a gambling interest of any sort on a game in which a player or manager is directlyinvolved.) While Jackson and Rose had outstanding playing careers that would usually merit Hall of Fame induction, the Hall ofFame disallows election of anyone on the permanent suspension list.

Also odd, in that I was at a college baseball game today where a trivia question announced over the PA was, "Who was the only player to play with the Braves in Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta?" and the answer was, of course, Eddie Mathews.
Not everyone in the Hall won a league MVP award, and it is not a fully reliable measure, but I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of players in the Hall at least were voted in, say, the top 5, a few times, and probably top 10 a few more.

Slaughter's illness forced him to miss last month's induction ceremony for the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y. It was the first one he missed since his induction in 1985.
Slaughter joined the Cardinals in 1938 and, except for missing three years to serve in World War II, stayed in St. Louis until he was traded to the New York Yankees in 1954.
One theory for his 26-year wait to enter the Hall of Fame was tied to allegations that Slaughter was a racist who tried to organize a strike when Jackie Robinson became the first fl player in the major leagues.
