  • BBWAA = Baseball Writers' Association of America, VC = Veteran's Committee, OTC = Old Timers Committee. There was no voting by the BBWAA in 1940, 1941, 1943, 1944, 1957, 1959, 1961, and 1963.
  • *Intermittently from 1947 to 1967, if the BBWAA did not elect anyone on its initial ballot, the top 20-30 vote getters would appear on a runoff ballot, the top vote getter being elected. This happened in 1949, 1964, and 1965.
