The 13th edition of the Hall of Fame Classic will be played on Saturday, May 27. Presented by Boeing, the Classic will feature Hall of Famers Rollie Fingers, Fergie Jenkins, Jim Kaat and Jack Morris along with additional Hall of Famers to be announced serving as managers and coaches. Recently retired players representing each of the 30 big league teams will compete in the seven-inning legends game at historic Doubleday Field.

Seating along the third baseline will not be available, as the Village of Cooperstown is coordinating ongoing renovations of Doubleday Field.

Following the Hall of Fame Classic, the Museum will host its Night at the Ballpark program. Hall of Fame legends and former players will greet fans throughout Doubleday Field on Saturday evening beginning at 6 p.m., with Hall of Famers participating for the first hour of the event.

Hall of Fame Classic participants will canvass the ballpark during the course of a two-hour event, which has a 12-ticket limit per order and has a capacity limit of 500.

While the Night at the Ballpark program is not an autograph session, fans should remember to bring their camera to capture their special memories. Tickets for Night at the Ballpark are on sale now. Tickets are priced at $75 each and a ticket to the Hall of Fame Classic is included with a ticket purchase for Night at the Ballpark.
