Great question, Kyle. I believe Howard got it right.
I'll add that voting was very, very different back then...for instance, some players, Gehrig and DiMaggio being two, received votes while they were still active players.
While the voting process we experience today is far from perfect, it is much more sophisticated than it was in its infancy...aren't we all?
