change first HOF voting date
Little off topic, but...
Lets assume the HOF had its first ever induction voting in 1966 instead of 1936 - 30 years later. Many sportswriters would have passed that would have seen Wagner and Matty - does that mean they would not have made it in the initial vote? Lets broaden it to, say, 8 inductees instead of 5 with first ballot occuring in 1966. Who would have been the chosen first 8? Would the original 5 all been included in the 8?

I think there is a general consensus that Matty, Johnson, Cobb and Wagner would have been stars today. I think that there were probably some 1880s players whose skill levels were likely similar to that of very good high school players. We will never know, of course.
