After electing five candidates in our 1911 election, it’s time for the 1916 newbies. We have opened five new slots for honorees, and we have carried over four from the 1901 election and two from 1906. That means we can elect as many as nine players this time around. The following 31 players are now eligible for induction in addition to those whose eligibility began since 1901. Eligibility is perpetual.
