COOPERSTOWN, NY – When Paul Blair began his professional baseball career, he envisioned himself as a shortstop.
But once he arrived in the big leagues in 1964, Blair spent the next 17 seasons collecting Gold Gloves for his play in the outfield – and World Series rings for his overall contributions to championship teams.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Goose Gossage’s focus on the field was legendary during his 22-year Hall of Fame career.
But when Gossage steps onto Doubleday Field on Father’s Day for the Hall of Fame Classic, fans will forgive him if he’s a little distracted.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Although it is Spring Break from school for kids all over the country this week, visitors to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum are getting an education.
This week, the Hall of Fame celebrated Youth Baseball Week with educational programs for kids of all ages.
In Going, Going, Gone!, visitors got to recreate the baseball broadcast from Game 7 of the 1924 World Series between the Giants and the Senators.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Joe Mauer’s thoughts are never far from home.
But when the Minnesota Twins All-Star appears on the next episode of Homecoming with Rick Reilly on Saturday, he’ll receive a double dose of home – thanks to Baseball Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Baseball’s greatest weekend will celebrate the careers of three new Hall of Fame inductees while introducing a new lineup of family-friendly activities, as Hall of Fame Weekend 2010 will take place July 23-26 in Cooperstown, N.Y.
The commissioner didn’t say anything about brains. I’ll tell you, I showed up a lot, which is one of the reasons I’m here, and I’m very grateful for it. Before I speak, I would like to introduce my wife Mary. Will you please stand up. My oldest son Robbie and his wife Debbie. My next boy Danny; then Richard, who’s 19 years old; and the one we still have at home, Jimmie. I’m like Freddie, I have so many people that took the time to come all this way to be in Cooperstown, not only to see the Hall of Fame, but here because I am being inducted today, and I thank them so very much.

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.
