Read the fine print if you can........

Today's Date in History: 1936 - The Baseball Writers Association of America announces the results of the first Hall of Fame vote. Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson and Honus Wagner comprise the inaugural class of Hall of Fame members.

Crazy list of those not selected (Gehrig, Young, Hornsby, etc......)........BBWAA voting controversial from day 1..........

Great thread! Allow me to add a little to it if you dont mind.

Very interesting that Cobb was leading vote getter, despite his extremely feisty playing demeanor. Talent wins out.......
