The Famous Baseball Hall Of Fame Plaques

As most people know, every Baseball Hall Of Fame Inductee receives a spot in the famous Hall Of Fame Gallery. When we took our trip to Cooperstown, we learned some new information about these famed plaques.

These plaques are cast in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is interesting to note that the Inductees have absolutely no say in the plaque itself. Both the team logo on the hat and the paragraph of information are completely decided by the Hall Of Fame.

Granite pieces have been put in place for where the plaques are going to be placed this year.
