Baseball hall cancels ceremony, Canadian Walker and others to be honoured in 2021
Canadian Larry Walker, Derek Jeter and the rest of this year’s Baseball Hall of Fame class will have to wait another year for their big moment at Cooperstown.
The Hall of Fame announced Wednesday that it has cancelled the July 26 induction ceremony because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Instead, the class will be included at next year’s induction festivities on July 25, 2021.
A record crowd had been expected this summer at the small town in upstate New York to honour Jeter, the former New York Yankees captain who was elected in January by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
