MLB scraps the Hall of Fame Game
Posted on January 30, 2008 | 56 Views
Cooperstown, NY (Sports Network) - The Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres will meet in the final Hall of Fame Game in Cooperstown on June 16.
The exhibition contest at historic Doubleday Field is being discontinued after this year. It had been an annual tradition since 1940.
"We're grateful to Major League Baseball for making an annual Hall of Fame Game possible for so many years, but we also understand their enormous scheduling challenge today, which makes continuing this exhibition game impossible," said Hall of Fame President Dale Petroskey in a statement.
The day's festivities include a parade and a home run derby before the game.
