The author describes the traditions and beginnings of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The sport's oldest known artifact, the Abner Doubleday baseball, dates back to 1839. The author presents a nostalgic list of other artifacts in the Hall of Fame. The article states that the chain of events that led to the determination that Cooperstown was the birthplace of baseball are highly disputed. The author describes the induction ceremonies and environment surrounding the Hall.
