Yet many fans are unaware of what goes into the selection of players to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Part I of this volume offers a chronology of Hall of Fame voting from 1936 to the present. Part II provides information about the awards won (Cy Young, MVP, Rookie), honors (Sporting News All-Star selections), and other career details (longevity, benchmark statistical achievements) that tend to sway voters. And Part III summarizes the voting trends by position. 606 $aBaseball$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aBaseball$xHistory. 676 $a796.357/640973 676 $a796.357640973 700 $aMcConnell$b John J.$f1924-$01670947 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811086803321 996 $aCooperstown by the numbers$94033132 997 $aUNINA
