I cheated and looked, and yeah, I see five too. Two of them were very close, dying in January of the year they were elected, but as far as I can see they both died before their election was announced. I could be wrong about that.

It's a very tricky question, because only one of them has been mentioned here so far, and the others aren't at all obvious. Gehrig and Clemente were elected in special elections, and Gehrig was alive for his in any case.

Mathewson is one correct answer. I only came up with 4 but there very well could be a fifth. I’ll go back and look again.

I missed 1. 5 is the correct answer. I’ll edit the original post.

Mathewson has been named. 4 remain.

Mathewson and Keeler died before the first HOF election. I believe Herb Pennock was another. I think he was elected because he suddenly passed away.

That’s 3 of the 5. Mathewson, Keeler and Pennock.

Two remain.

Still only 3 out of 5. 2 remain.
