2005 inductees Wade Boggs (left) and Ryne Sandberg

Elections to the Baseball Hall of Fame for 2005 proceeded in keeping with rules enacted in 2001. The Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) held an election to select from recent players, voting Ryne Sandberg and Wade Boggs into the Hall. The Veterans Committee held a separate election to select from players retired more than 20 years, but did not elect anyone.

Induction ceremonies in Cooperstown were held July 31 with Commissioner Bud Selig presiding.
