1946 Hall of Fame
The BBWAA vote for 1946 pitched a shutout against the nominees. The Old Timers committee however made up for it again with a new high of 11 men selected to be honored in Cooperstown. On a personal note, it's fun to see some lesser known legends first mentioned in my Perfect Game series like Walsh and Waddell. Also elected for this year is the immortal Chicago trio of Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance.
