The Veterans Committee held an election with two ballots: the biennial election for players retired over 20 years, and the quadrennial election for non-players (managers, umpires and executives), the first since 2003. The Committee did not elect anyone.
Induction ceremonies in Cooperstown were held July 29 with Commissioner Bud Selig presiding.
