I'm not sure why it's such a tragedy the inaugural class was not inducted unanimously?
The HOF was brand new!
Presumably most...if not all people voting at that time knew most if not all of the players that were ultimately inducted...and at that time there was nothing to base their votes on what makes one "worthy" of the HOF.
Certainly some voters had opinions...based on 1st hand experience with these players that affected their votes?
Some of these players had questionable moral character...maybe cheated in some ways.
