Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1951

The 1951 election to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame proceeded with the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) again authorized to elect players retired less than 25 years.

The 10-year members of the BBWAA had the authority to select any players active in 1926 or later, provided they had not been active in 1950. Voters were instructed to cast votes for 10 candidates; any candidate receiving votes on at least 75% of the ballots would be honored with induction to the Hall.

A total of 226 ballots were cast, with 2167 individual votes for 86 specific candidates; 170 votes were required for election. The two candidates who received at least 75% of the vote and were elected are indicated in "bold italics".
