Hall of Fame Induction Weekend brings baseball fans to Cooperstown each July as the National Baseball Hall of Fame formally inducts its newest class of honorees. The multi-day event centers on a public induction ceremony, drawing tens of thousands to the small village alongside memorabilia shows and player appearances.
