If memory serves me right - Willie Mays is Ken Griffey's Godafather. I suspect that if he could have been there - he would have.

Doerr and Schoendienst haven't been in a few years. I know Bobby was there a few years ago, maybe 3 or so. He also lives in Oregon, which makes for a quite a trip for the oldest living HOFer. Red also has not attended in many years.
Robinson was supposed to be there, and had public signings scheduled with Jack Berke. And Aaron was originally on the list of HOFers scheduled to be attending published by the HOF. Not sure what happened there. Yaz rarely ever attends. Same with Nolan Ryan. |

Doerr is 98; Red 93. So, advanced age and it's accompanying problems gives them a pass.

Ryan should've been there.
