2021 Baseball HOF Ceremony Featuring Derek Jeter to Be Held Without Fans

The 2021 Baseball Hall of Fame ceremony, which is scheduled for Sunday, July 25, will be held without fans because of the COVID-19 pandemic, per the Associated Press.

Ex-New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, former MLB outfielder Larry Walker, ex-MLBPA executive director Marvin Miller and former catcher Ted Simmons form the Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2020, whose enshrinement ceremony last year was canceled because of COVID-19.

The class of 2021 will not have any new members after all eligible players failed to hit the 75-percent threshold needed on the Baseball Writers Association of America ballots.
