1962 Hall of Fame Game
The 1962 Hall of Fame Game, scheduled for July 23 between the Milwaukee Braves and the New York Yankees, was rained out.
It marked the first time since 1944 that the Hall of Fame Game had been canceled due to rain.
Fortunately, the weather did not stop the Induction Ceremony that occurred during the same weekend from proceeding as planned.
