First HOF class vs comparable players
I’ve been thinking about why the five players in the first HOF class (Ruth, Cobb, Mathewson, Johnson, Wagner) have such a disproportionate demand for their cards compared to other players of similar stature. Ruth is maybe the exception, not too tough to figure out his demand. But guys like speaker, Lajoie, and Eddie Collins have fairly similar career stats to Wagner. Grover Alexander has similar career stats to Mathewson. Of course it’s not quite the same but similar enough to make me wonder. Those five being in the first HOF class is obviously a biggie, but wondering what people think are other driving forces behind this if any.
