2013 Hall of Fame "Special" Induction 7/28...any Net54 members attending?
In addition to Hank O’Day, Jacob Ruppert and Deacon White, this year's HOF Induction ceremony will honor 12 old timer electees who never had an official induction. The list includes:
Lou Gehrig Rogers Hornsby and the entire Class of 1945: Roger Bresnahan Dan Brouthers Fred Clarke Jimmy Collins Ed Delahanty Hugh Duffy Hughie Jennings King Kelly Jim O’Rourke Wilbert Robinson It's pretty neat that so many old timers will have an official induction ceremony this weekend. Each old timer will be inducted by one of the Hall of Famers in attendance. The HOF website states that "The 1:30pm Ceremony will be televised live on MLB Network, broadcast nationally on Sirius XM Radio and will be available via a Web cast at www.baseballhall.org." I'll be there...will any other Net54 members be attending this weekend? In honor of these old timers, let's make a thread of the cards of these players. |

I'll be there and am looking forward to it. Haven't been since 2004 and am happy with the way they've organized it this year (with no living guys going in).

Nice way to generate some additional interest with no living members being inducted this year.

Anyone wanna bet on how many programs from the ceremony signed by at least one of the inductees make it onto Ebay this week?

I'll be there, haven't missed one since 1988. Ted Z sets up at the VFW show as well as my buddy George and several others. Should be a nice time as always - small crowd though is sure to lead to good opportunities to actually have lengthy conversations with the Hall of Famers who will be back in the village. I would recommend it to all as even in down years, it is still cool to visit the museum, chat with other fans/collectors, look at cards, memorabilia, etc... Adam, I hope you are wrong, but do suspect you may be right.

Anyone know the story why there wasn't an induction ceremony for these players? I understand that many of them may have been deceased at their time of induction, but how about Hornsby? I assume he was still around.
