80 years ago, the first Hall of Fame election results were announced
Elections tend to dominate the news in February, especially in years of presidential races. But 80 years ago today, no one was talking about the Iowa caucus results, because the first Hall of Fame class had just been announced and that was way more exciting. (Well, also because the Iowa caucus wouldn't be a thing until 1972, but don't worry about that.)
So, who was elected to the HOF's inaugural class? Take the quiz below to find out. We'll give you two hints: 1) Only five players were voted in. 2) Three of those players are in the photo above, taken on June 12, 1939, at the dedication of the brick-and-mortar Cooperstown HOF building.
