Grover Cleveland Alexander was the only player elected in 1938 by the BBWAA
The 1938 elections to select inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame were conducted along much the same lines as the 1937 vote. Toward the goal of 10 initial inductees from the 20th century, eight had now been selected; members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) were once again given authority to select any players active in the 20th century, excepting active players. The Centennial Commission retained the responsibility of selecting inductees whose contributions were largely as non-players.
As the obvious stars had already been elected, only pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander was selected via the BBWAA ballot.[1] The Centennial Commission selected Alexander Cartwright and Henry Chadwick.[2]
