I agree with Bach and Kerr, but the majority of the time, they are on the ball-of course that leads to 12 people getting inducted. Hockey is really the one I think of, especially with the waiving tradition or waiting periods for shoe-ins like Gretzky and Lemiux.
They changed that rule so they will no longer waive the waiting period unless it is for "certain humanitarian circumstances", (i.e., the guy's gonna die in 6 months so we might as well let him in now.) See

A candidate to whom this paragraph 19 applies may be nominated by a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame Selection Committee at any time and the deadline for nominations contained in paragraph 22 hereof shall not apply to any such candidate.
