2021 Hall Of Fame Classic Weekend Events Cancelled

The National Baseball Hall of Fame announced the 2021 Hall of Fame Classic Weekend events that were scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend in May have officially been cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The annual events that were cancelled include the Hall of Fame Classic legends game, which features appearances by Hall of Famers and players representing each of the 30 MLB teams, Classic Weekend’s Night at the Museum meet-and-greet event, BASE Race and the Cooperstown Classic Clinic.

“Though we are having to cancel our 2021 Hall of Fame Classic Weekend, the Hall of Fame is maintaining its commitment to hold an Induction Ceremony on July 25,” Chairman of the National Baseball Hall Of Fame Jane Forbes Clark said.

“We had hoped to be in a position to welcome loyal baseball fans back to Cooperstown for Induction Weekend, but with the continuing uncertainties created by COVID-19, the Board of Directors has decided not to hold Induction Weekend ceremonies at the traditional Clark Sports Center location.

“We have prepared alternative plans to conduct our annual Awards Presentation and Induction Ceremony as television events taking place indoors and adhering to all of the required New York State guidelines.”

While the events over Memorial Day Weekend were cancelled, as of now the Hall of Fame’s 2021 Induction Ceremony that is scheduled for July is still expected to be held.

That will honor the members of the 2020 class since last year’s ceremony was postponed and will include Derek Jeter, Marvin Miller, Ted Simmons and Larry Walker. Additionally, the 2021 Ford C. Frick Award winner for broadcasting excellence, Al Michaels, is also among those that will be honored.

No players elected to Hall of Fame for 2021

Unfortunately, the ceremony will only include the 2020 Hall of Fame class as the Baseball Writers’ Association of America did not elect anyone in 2021.

The Induction Ceremony is usually an unticketed, free event for all fans to attend in Cooperstown, although it remains to be seen if that will be the case in 2021 due to the pandemic. Last year marked the first time since 1960 that a ceremony was forced to be cancelled/postponed.
