In baseball, there have been seasons when nobody was elected to the Hall-off-Fame. That's because you must get 75% of the votes in order to be elected, no matter what. So in 1945, 1946, 1950, 1958, 1960, 1971, 1996, 2013, and 2021, nobody was elected.

A long time ago, I saw/heard that football had a policy in which at least one player MUST go to the Hall-of-Fame every year, regardless of the percentages gathered by each player ...... although their overall policy is actually a little stricter than baseball, because you needed 80% of the votes to get in under normal circumstances. If nobody gets 80%, then the highest vote gatherer gets inducted. I believe that that happened at least one times some years ago.
