- Elections to the Baseball Hall of Fame for 1964 followed the system introduced for even-number years in 1962. The Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) voted by mail to select from recent major league players with provision for a second, "runoff" election in the event of no player receiving enough votes for induction. The runoff was necessary this year, with Luke Appling the winner. Further, the eligibility of retired players was reduced from having retired 30 years prior to election to 20 years prior. Meanwhile, the Veterans Committee was meeting annually to consider executives, managers, umpires, and earlier major league players. It selected six people: Red Faber, Burleigh Grimes, Miller Huggins, Tim Keefe, Heinie Manush, and John Montgomery Ward. A formal induction ceremony was held in Cooperstown, New York, on July 27, 1964, with Commissioner of Baseball Ford Frick presiding. (en)
- 1964年美國國家棒球名人堂票選遵循1962年後的名人堂票選規則，大聯盟在這年硬性規定全美棒球記者協會若未選出入選者，需要進行次輪投票。全美棒球記者協會在第一輪沒有選出任何入選者，不過在次輪投票選出路克·艾普林。資深選手委員會也在這年舉辦票選，並選出瑞德·法伯、柏雷·葛萊姆斯、米勒·哈金斯、提姆·基弗、海尼·曼納許和約翰·蒙哥馬利·瓦德。大聯盟後來在1964年7月27日舉辦入選典禮。 (zh)
