For the first time since 2019, the Hall of Fame Parade of Legends returns to Cooperstown for Induction Weekend for the Class of 2022. Dozens of Hall of Fame legends ride down Main Street in the backs of pick-up trucks en route to a private reception at the Museum. The Parade of Legends begins at 6pm and will feature an appearance by members of Cooperstown Youth Baseball and Softball 12u teams, music from the award-winning Baldwinsville High School band and the Cooperstown Veterans Color Guard.

To most, the Yankees lineup doesn't look like much.  On Thursday, though, ESPN's Buster Olney called into Armen and Levack to explain why most of us may be wrong.

Some of you remember. Some of you don't. Some of you care. Some of you don't. And any of that is fine. In May I wrote about the experience I had being a bullpen catcher at the Hall of Fame Classic in Cooperstown. You can read it here...

UNDATED (AP) — The Baseball Hall of Fame will enshrine four former players this summer. The class of 2015 includes first year candidates and former Cy Young Award winners Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz.

My day started by talking to Jim Thome. It ended by sitting next to Hideki Matsui on a bus. The in-point and out-points of the experience were awesome, but so was every point in between. Those of you who read my work consistently know that I'm passionate about baseball...

With the warm weather finally upon us, it finally feels like baseball season. And that nostalgic baseball feel at that. The smell and look of the fresh cut grass, the sun on your face, the crack of the bat. And with that – it’s time for some of you (like me) to start planning your yearly pilgrimage to nearby Cooperstown...

I have been going to Cooperstown every year since 2002 for Hall of Fame Weekend, one year as a fan and the other 10 as a media member.  Not this year. No living members were inducted (first time since 1965) so I bagged it.  And even from afar, it had the feel of a very different weekend.

Shea Stadium used to buzz like crazy, as did the city of New York, when a youngster named Doc Gooden took the hill throwing fire and wearing #16.  Pedro Martinez used to light up the Bronx the same way in those epic Yankees-Red Sox games when the masses wondered who his Daddy was...

The Boston Red Sox are bringing back pitcher Pedro Martinez, but he won't be stepping on the mound for the AL East team.
