The National Baseball Hall of Fame announced on Wednesday the 2020 induction ceremony will be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Induction Weekend is a celebration of our National Pastime and its greatest legends, and while we are disappointed to cancel this incredibly special event, the Board of Directors’ overriding concern is the health and well-being of our new inductees, our Hall of Fame members, our wonderful fans and the hundreds of staff it takes to present the weekend’s events in all of its many facets,” Baseball Hall of Fame chairman Jane Forbes Clark said in a statement.
