The Baseball Hall of Fame's "First
Five"
The Baseball Writers' Association of America holds an election every
year in order to elect members to the National Baseball Hall of
Fame from the ranks of retired baseball players. In 1936, when the
first Major League Baseball Hall of Fame ballots were counted, five
players were chosen. In order of votes, those five players were:
Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson.
Since that first election in 1936, more than 180 players have been
inducted into the Hall of Fame. Yet the "First Five" hold
a special place in the hearts of Baseball fans everywhere. The Hall
of Fame's logo pays tribute to the "First Five" with five
white stars on a blue background.
In Ty Cobb's 24 years in the major leagues, he held over 100 baseball
records. His lifetime batting average remains a standard in batting
excellence. Playing 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers and two with
the Philadelphia Athletics, "The Georgia Peach" won 12
batting titles.
Walter Johnson, the "Big Train" won 417 games in his
21-year career. He retired as the career leader in strikeouts. In
the seventh game of the 1924 World Series, Johnson entered the contest
in the ninth inning and pitched four shutout innings to lead the
Senators to their only World Series championship.
On the mound, Christy Mathewson won 373 games for the New York
Giants. "Matty" was known for his breaking pitch, which
he called the "fadeaway." In 1905 he almost single-handedly
won the World Series when he shut out the Athletics in Games One,
Three and Five, allowing only 14 hits.
Babe Ruth's Hall of Fame plaque states that he was the "greatest
drawing card in (the) history of baseball." "The Bambino"
boasted a 94-46 pitching record and was viewed as one of the best
left-handed pitchers in the game in the early part of his career.
He retired as the all-time leader in home runs, runs batted in,
slugging percentage and walks.
Honus Wagner played several defensive positions, most notably shortstop.
"The Flying Dutchman" won eight National League batting
titles and retired with more than 3,000 hits. Enormously popular,
Wagner was the first player to have his signature on a Louisville
Slugger bat.
Among other criteria, to be eligible for the prestigious Baseball
Hall of Fame, candidates must have played in 10 Major League championship
seasons and must have been active as a player in the Major Leagues
at some time during a period beginning 20 years before and ending
five years prior to election.
