1954 Hall of Fame

 Hall of Fame voting fell into a rhythm by now. The Veterans Committee only met in odd years, meaning the BBWAA was the only source of new members for '54. Luckily by now there was a big glut of talent all waiting for their turn to be voted for, so the voters had a wide selection to choose from. Greats like Joe DiMaggio fell short of votes, not because of talent, but because there were older guys on the ballot that the voters wanted to vote for while there was still time for them. So while an all time great like Joltin' Joe had to wait his turn, a few men got the call for immortality, including a fellow Yankee great.
