Jackie Robinson, who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947 to 1956, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown in 1962 -- his first year of eligibility in 1962. Interestingly, the great Cleveland Indians pitcher Bob Feller was inducted at the same time. Feller had been critical of Robinson through the years and once said that the Dodgers great had "football shoulders and couldn't hit an inside pitch to save his neck."

There were players in the Hall of Fame prior to 1962. Bob Feller and Jackie Robinson were both elected in 1962.

The Baseball Writers Association Hall of Fame was established in 1936 and five players were inducted in that year: Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Babe Ruth, Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson.
