Since 1971, 35 Negro League baseball players and executives have
been admitted to the Hall of Fame. The Negro League Hall of Fame
admissions process, which has now been conducted in four phases
over a 50-year period, can be characterized as idiosyncratic at
best. Drawing on baseball analytics and surveys of both Negro
League historians and veterans, this book presents an historical
overview of NLHOF voting, with an evaluation of whether the 35 NL
players selected were the best choices. Using modern metrics such
as Wins Above Replacement (WAR), 24 additional Negro Leaguers are
identified who have Hall of Fame qualifications. Brief biographies
are included for HOF-quality players and executives who have been
passed over, along with reasons why they may have been excluded. A
proposal is set forth for a consistent and orderly HOF voting
process for the Negro Leagues.
