The Baseball Writers' Association of America was enlisted to select the players greats who were to be honored in the Hall of Fame. Five players were chosen in the first election held in January of 1936. Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, and Walter Johnson were the inaugural inductees. The Hall of Fame was officially dedicated on June 12, 1939. The game's four ranking executives of the period; Landis, Frick, Harridge, and William G. Bramham President of the National Association, participated in the ribbon-cutting. Of the 25 immortals who had been elected to the Hall of Fame up to that point, 11 were still living, and all of them journeyed to Cooperstown to attend the centennial celebration.

Some sample questions from this category:

* This speedster played 18 years with the Cubs and Cardinals. When he retired, he held the record for 118 stolen bases in a season and 938 in his career.
* Although Abner Doubleday is credited with creating the sport, this man was the true founder when he set up the first 20 rules of the game for the New York Knickerbockers.
* This man was the first sportswriter elected. He was the first to write instructional books on the game and invented the box score.
* Had he not lost four years to World War II, this Indian, who began his career at the age of 17, might have been statistically one of the greatest pitchers of all time. He was still able to lead the league in wins 6 times.
* Depending on who you ask, this Negro League star had a lifetime batting average of between .354 and .440, and hit between 800 and 950 career homeruns.
