USA TODAY COLUMN:
INDUCTION
MAY NOT BE
HELD IN 2020
COOPERTOWN – The Hall of Fame is expected to announce this week that their induction ceremony weekend, scheduled to take place July 24-26, will be postponed until 2021, according to USA Today’s baseball columnist Bob Nightengale.
His column said the Hall of Fame is scheduled to meet this week with its board of directors this week before finalizing a decision, but with the COVID-19 pandemic raging across the country – with 292,000 cases in New York – there is little choice but to push it back a year and combine the two Hall of Fame classes.
Jon Shestakofsky, Hall vice president/communications & education, said Nightengale’s piece is speculative. “It’s not entirely accurate,” he added.
The Hall of Fame board will meet this week, he said, adding that “at some point this week we should have a decision to share.”
