Default 1939 Hall of Fame Inductees

Actually, Erik, Cobb deliberately showed up late to the ceremony to avoid being photographed with Commisioner Landis. Cobb despised Landis due his belief that Landis did not give him a fair shake in the investigation at the end of Cobb's career of allegations that he and Tris Speaker had thrown a game. In the end, Landis didn't get into the picture anyway so Cobb's ruse was for naught.
