Every year, baseball fans wait to see who is going to get into the hallowed halls of the Baseball Hall of Fame. By definition, a Hall of Famer is a group of individuals in a particular category (as a sport) who have been selected as particularly illustrious. First opened in 1936 the Baseball Hall of Fame, the museum now houses 310 members who have been enshrined. In the Hall, there are 215 former major league players, 28 executives, 35 Negro leaguers, 22 managers and 10 umpires. This year, there is a new list that has been announced.
