International League Hall of Fame

The International League Hall of Fame was an American baseball hall of fame which honored players, managers, and executives of the International League (IL). It was created by the International League Baseball Writers' Association in 1947 to honor those individuals who made significant contributions to the league.

The Hall of Fame inducted its first class of nine former players, managers, and league officials in 1947. A plaque was unveiled at the IL's New York City offices located in the Ruppert Building at 535 Fifth Avenue. Unlike the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown the hall of fame did not have a permanent home, and only existed as a barnstorming display which visited a number of the league's ballparks each season.

From 1949 through 1960, the league inducted up to three new members each year. Only one member was inducted annually from 1961 to 1963. After the cessation of the league's Baseball Writers' Association, the Hall of Fame became dormant from 1964 to 2006. The Hall was reestablished in 2007 to commemorate the League's 125th season of play in 2008. Two new members were inducted in 2007, and plans were made to elect up to 28, 14, and 7 inductees, respectively, over the next three years. In the seasons that followed, up to three inductees were to be voted into the Hall annually. As of 2020, 129 individuals had been inducted into the International League Hall of Fame. Following the 2020 season, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic before it began, Major League Baseball assumed control of Minor League Baseball. The Hall of Fame has since become dormant.
