The selection committee is made up of 18 men and the process is secret. Silly factors are very often what determines who gets in. And I pretty much think Blake will miss out this year because of funny games. They might not see his career as a "first ballot guy". They'll want to get Shanahan in there, and I think making Andreychuk wait five years is long enough.
I could be wrong, but for player inductees, I think the rules are up to four men and two women. Other than James and Granato a few years ago though, the Hall as declined to name any other female players.
