Ruth and Wagner tied. I would say Cy Young gets the most hobby love. He wasn't elected in 1936 because there was confusion over the voting. There were 2 votes, pre 1900 players and post 1900 players. The voters were confused over which group Young belonged in and split his vote resulting in him being short in both. Between having the pitching award named for him and his high WAR, I don't see that changing. Wojo is a close 2nd with Matty 3rd.
