How are you eligable into the baseball hall of fame?
The VC eligibility requirements are that the player played for 10 seasons and have been retired for at least 21 seasons. The VC also elects managers, executives, and umpires to the Hall of Fame that have been retired for at least 5 seasons. If the manager/executive/umpire is 65+ years old, the 5 year waiting period is reduced to 6 months.
