Hall of Famers: Yearly Finalists (All-time Alphabetical Listing)

* Prior to 1970, the procedure of naming just 15 finalists was not defined. Beginning in 2007, the procedure includes naming 17 finalists that include 15 modern-era candidates and two senior nominees.

A contributor category was added for the 2015 Selection Process bringing the total number of Finalists to 18.
