Created by the International League Baseball Writers' Association, the International LeagueHall of Fame originated on June 12, 1947 when nine former players, managers and League officialswere formally inducted into the Hall's first class. The induction included the unveiling of theInternational League Hall of Fame plaque at the League's New York City offices located in theRuppert Building at 535 Fifth Avenue.

From 1948 until 1960, a class of three individuals was inducted into the HOF every year. In1961, '62 and '63, a class of one was inducted annually. For unknown reasons, no inductions weremade between 1964 and 2006, and the roster of inductees remained at 51. Speculation is thatwith the demise of the League's Writers' Association, the selection process went dormant.

With the passing of the only three-time International League Most Valuable Player (1953,'55, '58), two-time Triple Crown Winner (1955, '58) and IL Hall of Famer Glenn "Rocky" Nelson(class of '60) in October, 2006, no living Hall of Fame members remained.

In July, 2007, League Directors unanimously passed legislation during the League's All-StarGame meeting in Albuquerque, NM, to re-establish the Hall of Fame. Former League PresidentsHarold Cooper and George Sisler, Jr. were inducted in 2007, while 27 additional inductees werechosen by the Anniversary Committee and enshrined in January, 2008.

14 inductees were enshrined in 2009, while seven inductees were announced in 2010.Beginning in 2011, up to three inductees will be nominated by fans, media and executives. Thosenominated will then be elected by eligible voters.
