There is a written criteria, and you can read fame in as being part of it, but not the whole thing
"Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played."
The first and last clause provide a lot of flexibility, but I think they can certainly be read to give consideration to guy who helped his team win big games and World Series', as opposed to just finishing 5th place instead of 7th place.
