Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1989
- Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1989
The 1989 elections to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame followed the same system in use since 1968. The Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) held an election to select among recent players. The BBWAA election applied a 75% rule to all eligible players, while the Veterans Committee met in closed door sessions to select from players ineligible for the BBWAA election, as well as managers and executives.
BBWAA election
The BBWAA was authorized to elect players active in 1969 or later, but not after 1983; the ballot included candidates from the 1988 ballot who received at least 5% of the vote but were not elected, along with selected players, chosen by a screening committee, whose last appearance was in 1983. 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. The ballot consisted of 41 players; a total of 447 ballots were cast, with 336 votes required for election. Those candidates receiving less than 5% of the vote would not appear on future BBWAA ballots, but could eventually be considered by the Veterans Committee.
Candidates who were eligible for the first time are indicated here with a †. The two candidates who received at least 75% of the vote and were elected are indicated in "bold italics"; candidates who have since been elected in subsequent elections are indicated in "italics". The 20 candidates whoe received less than 5% of the vote, thus becoming ineligible for future BBWAA consideration, are indicated with a *.
Players eligible for the first time who were "not" included on the ballot were: Larry Biittner, Doug Bird, Tim Blackwell, Larry Christenson, Bill Fahey, Ed Farmer, Don Hood, Mike Ivie, Dave LaRoche, Randy Moffitt, Jerry Morales, Rowland Office, Mike Phillips, Steve Renko, Aurelio Rodriguez, Elias Sosa, and Otto Velez.
