Elections to the Baseball Hall of Fame for 1995 introduced a system of multiple classified ballots for consideration by the Veterans Committee. That group met in closed sessions as usual and selected four people: Richie Ashburn, Leon Day, William Hulbert, and Vic Willis. Day and Hulbert were named from the new ballots for Negro Leagues and 19th century figures. Vic Willis, who missed by one vote in 1986, and William Hulbert, who missed by one vote in 1993, were selected - but Gil Hodges, who missed by one vote in 1993, still has not been enshrined to date!
