		Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1942 facts and information
		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.
