WHO WAS THE FIRST PERSON ELECTED TO BASEBALL'S HALL OF FAME ??


Well, actually there were five of them. In 1936 Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson and Christy Mathewson were elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame. With 222 votes, Ty Cobb was tops. Ruth and Wagner were next with 215 votes out of a possible 226. (Above: Ty Cobb is on the left and Babe Ruth is on the right) Posted by Picasa
