Filed under: MLB Hall of Fame

The National Baseball Hall of Fame's class of 2011 was completed Wednesday when the results of the Baseball Writers' Association of America's election are announced. Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar were elected to the Hall of Fame, but below are the complete results of the balloting.

Players who spent at least 10 years in the major leagues and last played no later than 2005 are eligible to be placed on the ballot. Players can stay on the ballot for up to 15 years as long as they receive at least 5 percent of the vote. In order to be inducted into Cooperstown, players must receive 75 percent of the vote.

There were 33 players eligible for election via the BBWAA this year -- 14 returning to the ballot from last year and 19 first-time candidates.
