Update: NewMexiKen was mistaken about Cy Young earlier today. He was not one of the original five inductees. They were Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson. Young was elected to the hall the next year (1937).
Photo taken in 1939 of the 11 living members among the first 25 Hall of Fame inductees.
Back row: Honus Wagner, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Tris Speaker, Nap Lajoie, George Sisler, Walter Johnson.
Seated: Eddie Collins, Babe Ruth, Connie Mack, and Cy Young.
Ty Cobb is the 11th man. He had missed a train on the way to Cooperstown and was so disliked, the other 10 wouldn’t wait to include him in the photo.
