1962 Hall of Fame

 For 1962, the HoF rules were changed to helped ensure there would be new entries. The BBWAA failed to vote anyone new in for both 1958 and 1960, so they planned another run-off election in the event of a 3rd straight failure. Thankfully, they got their act together and managed to vote in not one, but two players on the first try. Meanwhile, the Veterans Committee met and added two entries of their own to swell the 1962 class to four men.

Also inducted:
