View the lineups for the 2011 Hall of Fame Classic
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – With the summer season in full swing, Cooperstown has been abuzz for several weeks.
But with the arrival of some of baseball's timeless legends Friday on the eve of the Hall of Fame Classic, star-gazing was in full force at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
For those interested in looking for a way to examine America's National Pastime from a number of different and varied angles this week, a visit to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum to attend the 23rd annual Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture would be in order.
Co-sponsored by the State University of New York College at Oneonta and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, the Symposium examines the impact of baseball on American culture from inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – At his athletic peak, Andre Dawson excelled at all phases of the game of baseball.
Twenty-one seasons of big league ball took their toll on his knees, but at the age of 56 Dawson still looks like he could compete in any sport.
Golfers beware: The Hawk is learning your game.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – There may be more than six inches of snow on the ground, but it is always baseball season in Cooperstown.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Josh Smith spent much of his summer reading baseball books at the Haverhill (Mass.) Public Library.
But he never thought those books would take him all the way to Cooperstown and the Hall of Fame.
The public's love affair with both baseball and the movies was on full display when the Fifth Annual Baseball Film Festival took place this past weekend at the Hall of Fame.

This Day in Baseball History
On June 19, 1977, the Cleveland Indians fire Frank Robinson, major league baseball’s first black manager. The Indians, in fourth place with a record of 26-31, hire coach Jeff Torborg as Robinson’s replacement. Robinson will receive his next managing job four years later with the San Francisco Giants, becoming the first black manger in the National League.
