The first election was held in 1936.The 36-39 classes all were inducted in 1939/but not simultaneously/ A whole class is NEVER inducted all at once.It's one person at a time/ The 1936 class was inducted first/Ty Cobb got the most votes followed in 2nd place in a tie between Honus Wagner and Babe Ruth.Next was Christy Mathewson then Walter Johnson.

1st/ Ty Cobb
2nd/Walter Johnson
3rd/Christy Mathewson
4th/Babe Ruth
5th/Honus Wagner
