		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.

		Players are inducted into the Hall of Fame through election by either the Baseball Writers Association of America (or BBWAA), or the Veterans Committee, which is composed mainly of former players.
		A major controversy facing the Hall of Fame is that of the status of Joe Jackson and Pete Rose.
		(Baseball's Rule 21 mandates permanent banishment for having a gambling interest of any sort on a game a player or manager is directly involved in.) While Jackson and Rose had careers that would merit Hall of Fame induction, the Hall of Fame disallows election of anyone on the permanent suspension list.
