Players are elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of American and the Veterans Committee. The BBWAA elects recent players and the VC elects players who played many years back.
The BBWAA eligibility requirements are that the player have played 10 MLB seasons within the last 25 years, been retired for at least 5 seasons, and not be on MLB's ineligible list. Should a player die before meeting the 5 year retired requirement, they are eligible to be elected in the next regular election.
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.
