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.
