Just for the record, the voting was 1936 but they were not technically "inducted or enshrined" until 1939.

What is more interesting is why these future HOFers only got 1 vote that first vote!

Baker, Clarke, Crawford, Dean, Gehringer, Hartnett, Mack, Marquad, and Vance.

I do understand some of these getting one vote but Mack, Gehringer, and Crawford?

BTW, in 1936 Joe Jackson got 2 votes.

The list of people who missed it the first time is impressive...
Alexander, Speaker, Young, Lajoie, Hornsby, Cochrane, Sisler, Collins, Gehrig, Foxx, Terry, Brown, Evers, Chance, McGraw, Schalk, Bresnahan, and Bender.

I am not shocked Cobb got in...players hated him for his antics but they respected him more for his playing ability than anything else.
