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.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.

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.
