The review of literature in relationship to the research purpose and research questions are divided into the following sections: (1) Different Types of Scandals/Ways of Cheating In Baseball, (2) Players That Were Involved in Different Scandals, (3) Major League Baseball Hall of Fame Entrance Qualifications, (4) How the Hall of Fame Voting Committee Has Not Had Consistency in Their Voting, and (5) Current Hall of Famers' Opinions. The Literature Review demonstrated many different ways of cheating in baseball. Insight into Major League iv Baseball and the Hall of Fame was attained via a variety of media sources. The quantitative research provided several miscreants that have been involved in transgressions which do not live up to the Integrity and Character classifications that the Hall of Fame looks for in a candidate.
