No players were added into the Oceania Baseball Association’s Hall of Fame with the 1981 voting. Pitcher Te Paoro Rangi got close though, getting 63.6% for his fourth ballot. This was a new high mark for him, with a 57.3% the prior ballot. No one else was above 50% with newcomer Danny Carrott the second highest vote getter at 48.6%.

SP Jacob Kelly became the first to make it ten ballots and miss the cut for the OBA Hall. He was Pitcher of the Year in 1961 and 1963, but suffered from having his official career begin at age 30 with OBA’s founding. Injuries also meant he only had really five full seasons worth of production. Still, Kelly compiled 39.7 WAR over 1308.1 innings with 1308 strikeouts, a 2.49 ERA, and 84-52 record. However, he never got higher than 22.1% of the vote.
