Hall of Fame Inductees Exhibit for Class of 2023 on Display in Cooperstown

(COOPERSTOWN, NY) – This weekend, two new Hall of Famers will be enshrined in Cooperstown, and the pair of inductees will have several artifacts from their careers represented through pieces in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

The Museum’s 2023 Inductees Exhibit celebrates the careers of Class of 2023 members Fred McGriff and Scott Rolen. The exhibit is open on the Museum’s third floor and will remain on display until spring of 2024.

Among the artifacts highlighting the Class of 2023 include:

• The bat used by Fred McGriff to hit his 400th home run on June 2, 2000.
• McGriff’s World Series ring from the Atlanta Braves’ 1995 championship victory over the Cleveland Indians.
• The jersey worn by McGriff in the 1994 All-Star Game as he hit a game-tying, pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the ninth.
• Scott Rolen’s Sporting News National League Rookie Player of the Year Award from 1997 – a season in which he batted .283 with 21 home runs and 92 RBI for the Philadelphia Phillies.
• A jersey worn by Rolen during the 2006 World Series as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Detroit Tigers.
• Rolen’s 2010 Gold Glove Award – the eighth and final of his 17-year big league career.
