change first HOF voting date
Little off topic, but...
Lets assume the HOF had its first ever induction voting in 1966 instead of 1936 - 30 years later.
Many sportswriters would have passed that would have seen Wagner and Matty - does that mean they would not have made it in the initial vote?
Lets broaden it to, say, 8 inductees instead of 5 with first ballot occuring in 1966. Who would have been the chosen first 8? Would the original 5 all been included in the 8?
