The Induction Ceremony also features the honoring of Lou Gehrig, Rogers Hornsby
and the entire Class of 1945, who never experienced a formal Induction Ceremony.
Tickets are required for entry.

Anybody can tell me what station this is being broadcast on, American station OK but better yet if Canadian? Will it be shown live on the internet? TIA

MLB Network will be showing the inductions.
Not sure if that reaches Canada

Thanks, Jay, for the info. Don't have MLB in my cable TV package. I have MLB Premium on the internet and thought it would be live streamed. If it is I can't find it. Might be able to catch it on one of the podcasts later.

I made a visit to the HOF in early July when I was in NY to check out the new Yankee Stadium. Here are a few shots I took of their PW card display and of former board member Hal Lewis' Reccius Cigar Wagner:

Did anyone hear Bud Selig read off the Deacon White and Hank O'Day plaques? No one clued him in on the fact PL stood for Player's League, not Pacific League. At least he gave those two the ole college effort, for the National Association teams on White's plaque, he paused on the first, then skipped over them.

I was very surprised at the lack of knowledge on Selig's part. He seemed to struggle with anything that differed from modern day NL & AL teams. He really came across as clueless to those that follow baseball history. If you are going to honor the players of years past, you should at least understand what teams and leagues they played. I would give Selig a flunking grade for his performance today. Even if he is devoting 100% of his time in the past several months to PEDs, a poor job today.

On the other hand, I thought all three families did a good job on behalf of the new inductees.
