Ransay Zapata, of Puerto Ordaz, asks …: “Why the five-year waiting period to be a candidate for the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown?”
Amigo Chanchay …: The Hall of Fame Committee and the Major League Baseball Writers Association prepared the Rules for that annual election. The five years after retreats or after death, it is because voters need to study the professional and private life of each candidate.
