John Schuerholz tours Baseball Hall of Fame

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) -- Eight weeks after receiving the biggest honor of his professional life, John Schuerholz spent a day soaking it all in.

Schuerholz, who has worked in baseball front offices for more than five decades, toured the baseball Hall of Fame on Thursday in preparation for his induction this summer.

''I'm sitting in a director's chair, I'm looking down this grand hallway in Cooperstown in the Hall of Fame having just been shown where my plaque will be installed ... and how do I feel? I feel spectacular,'' said the 76-year-old Schuerholz, who was elected to the Hall of Fame in December.
