Assuming those four are correct, the fifth is Lou Gehrig...
(altho I thought it was Carl Hubbell and not GCA in that initial class...)

gotta answer the question before you can make your own

Well i suppose the list would then be Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, Grover Cleveland Alexander(?) , and Christy Mathewson.
That question mark states i doubt that that one is correct

Well, duh, thats because its not Grover Alexander, it is Walter Johnson.
And the year was 1936, not 1939.
I'm going out on a limb and proclaming I am right in including Mr. Johnson in the Hall of Fame (after some contemplation I looked it up) so here comes the next question:
In 1947, Jackie Robinson opened the baseball world up to African American baseball players by playing first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers for the first time on April 15th. In his historic debute, which team did Brooklyn play?

Actually, 1936 is when the first class was elected. It wasn't inducted until 1939. But yeah, GCA was not part of the first class. My B.

The Braves were still in Boston in 1947, they played in the World Series in 1948.
