MLB Hall of Fame
Each year, former Major League Baseball players who have been retired for at least five years become eligible for election into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. To be elected, eligible candidates are required to garner at least 75 percent of the votes on ballots cast by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. In addition, every two years, the Committee on Baseball Veterans votes in players who have been retired as players for at least 21 years or whose service in the Negro Leagues before 1946 and the major leagues totals at least 10 years. Every four years, the committee votes in executives, managers or umpires who have been retired for at least five years. The waiting period is reduced to six months if the candidate is 65 at retirement or turns 65 during the five-year waiting period.

INSIDE MLB
-
Cuban lefty Aroldis Chapman and his 100 mph heater are among this offseason's many hot topics.
-
Alex Rodriguez had an interesting season, but it's one that ended with him lifting a career-long burden as a first-time champion.
-
The Phillies didn't get enough from their offense, particularly Ryan Howard, or their bullpen to repeat as champions.
-
Joe Girardi needs to rethink his pitching plan after watching A.J. Burnett's short start on short rest in Game 5.
-
Johnny Damon's two steals on one pitch drove the Yankees in Game 4 and will long be remembered.
-
Andy Pettitte's been under the bright lights before. He showed yet again that he knows how to handle himself in October.
-
Cole Hamels couldn't get out of the fifth inning and Ryan Howard's strikeout total rose some more. The Phillies are in trouble. But how much?
-
Ruth. Rivera. Gehrig. Gibson. Jackson. After a month of voting. they're the charter members of our Hall of Fall, the five greatest players in postseason history.
