2020 Hall Of Fame Induction Postponed To July 2021

Derek Jeter was among the tens of thousands hanging on Mariano Rivera’s words as the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum’s first unanimous inductee appeared in Cooperstown, N.Y., last July, and as the longtime Yankees teammates shared that moment in the sun, there was every reason to believe that a similar speech would be heard this summer.

Joe Garagiola, a most entertaining, engaging and convivial sort, has died, bringing to an end a full, rich life and leaving the game without one its most enduring personalities, an energetic crusader and folksy humorist.
