Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1960
- Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1960
The 1960 elections to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame followed a system which was established following the 1956 election. The BBWAA held an election to select from among recent players. The Veterans Committee, which then held elections in alternate years with the BBWAA, did not hold an election. For the third and final time, the Hall of Fame induction ceremony was cancelled due to there being no inductees, leading to the decision to hold Veterans Committee elections annually thereafter.
BBWAA election
The BBWAA was authorized to elect players active in 1940 or later, but not after 1954. All 10-year members of the BBWAA were eligible to vote.
Voters were instructed to cast votes for up to 10 candidates; any candidate receiving votes on at least 75% of the ballots would be honored with induction to the Hall. A total of 133 players received votes; 269 ballots were cast, with 202 votes required for election.
Candidates who were eligible for the first time are indicated here with a †. Candidates who have since been elected in subsequent elections are indicated in "italics".
Edd Roush, Hank Gowdy, Bucky Harris, Dave Bancroft, Joe Sewell, Nick Altrock, Joe Judge, Howard Ehmke, Eddie Rommel, Wally Schang, Cy Williams, Bob Meusel, Joe Dugan, Babe Herman, Lew Fonseca, Mike Gonzalez, Marty McManus, Jack Quinn, Bill Sherdel, Sparky Adams, Ray Blades, Heinie Groh, Bubbles Hargrave, Addie Joss, Freddy Leach and Hans Lobert were eligible for the final time.
