Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1942
The 1942 election to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame was the first to be conducted in three years, and the only regular election in the years 1940 to 1944; in 1939 the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) had moved to hold elections every three years rather than annually, now that the Hall had opened. This was a widely criticized move, as observers generally agreed that electing 3 players per year - the pace established from 1936 to 1939 - was an ideal number for annual induction.
