1970 Hall of Fame

 1970 was a pretty run-of-the-mill year as far as the behind the curtain situation was going. No major changes tot he process, no run-off vote controversies, the BBWAA agreed to a new name for enshrinement (Lou Boudreau) and the Veterans Committee added more names to go with him. One interesting thing to point out this year though was the Veterans Committee's decision to include Ford C. Frick as a reminder that they can choose executives and umpires as well as the usual assortment of Managers and old time players.

Also inducted:

Ford Frick (Pioneer/Executive)  National League President and later Commissioner of Baseball. As NL President, helped to set up the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. As Commissioner, oversaw the league through the first expansion era.
