The First Class

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.--In 1936, five of baseball's all-time greats (to that point) became the initial class of the Hall of Fame here. Who could know those five would hold up as among the best ever: Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Honus Wagner, and Walter Johnson.

On Road Trip 2010, CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman--a lifelong baseball fan--made his first-ever trip to the Hall of Fame and finally got a chance to see for himself the full roster of the greatest of the greats of America's Pastime.

Here, Terdiman calls out his choices for the best of the best with a collection of photographs of plaques of some of those players.
