Save the Hall of Fame Game
On January 29, 2008, Major League Baseball announced that the Hall of Fame Game -- an annual tradition celebrating the national pastime since 1940 -- would be ended following the 2008 contest between the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs in Cooperstown. This site is intended to help reverse that decision, and keep tradition alive in the Home of Baseball

Subject: Please reinstate the Hall of Fame Game
Body:
Dear Mr. Dupuy, Mr. Fehr and Mr. Petroskey:
I am writing to ask you to please reinstate the annual Hall of Fame Game in Cooperstown. It is a tradition that is very important to baseball, its fans, the Village of Cooperstown and many residents of the area. Please do not let a nearly 70-year tradition come to an end.
The Hall of Fame Game has survived a world war, player strikes, steroids and more for almost 70 years in order to help maintain what is right and true about our national game. The Hall of Fame Game doesn't need TV ratings, ad revenue or 24-7 news-cycle hype to survive. It only needs 10,000 baseball fans -- young and old -- and two Major League teams for one day a year. That's all it takes to greatly impact a deserving community, and remind spectators and participants alike that baseball is a glorious game, and an undeniable part of American culture and identity.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
