Hall of Fame

Hall of Fame

The Buffalo Baseball Hall of Fame was established in 1985 in conjunction with Buffalo Baseball's 100th anniversary celebration. Each year, the Hall of fame Committee nominates names for suggested induction onto the preliminary ballot. Finalists are selected by a secret ballot, where a three-quarters vote of the committee is required for induction.
