58 First Ballot Hall-of-Famers
David Ortiz became the 58th player elected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. Here's a link to the list: https://www.mlb.com/news/first-ballo...ers-c300943350
Why not decide how many you want in your Pantheon and start striking names off this list? It would be the "eyeball test HOF," but maybe also the "vote-with-your-heart HOF" too. Interesting that, according to the list, there were no first ballot HOFer's between 1936 and 1962. Can this be true? Not DiMaggio? Answer in supplementary article from MLB on ten greats not selected on first ballot: https://www.mlb.com/news/hall-of-fam...t-first-ballot |

How "tight" is the "inner-circle" supposed to be? I look at any player that has reached the basic milestones (500HRs, 3000H, 300W) are inner-circle. I'm sure other milestone criteria could be used. I suppose PED users are considered if you don't mind adding them.
Then there are those that haven't hit any of the milestones like Gehrig or DiMaggio that some might consider for their inner-circle. Bottom line, it would be fun to put together a survey of this board to see who their top 50 or even 100 players are. Provide a rank number and the end result would be the highest ranking players. My guess is that a lot of the players selected by the old veterans committee wouldn't make the cut.
