Hall of Fame - 50th Anniversary : 1989

1989-Jun-12 Anniversary Station - Cooperstown NY

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is a history museum and hall of fame in Cooperstown, New York, operated by a private foundation. The Hall of Fame was established by Stephen Carlton Clark, an heir to the Singer Sewing Machine fortune. The building was dedicated on June 12, 1939. The first five men elected were Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson, chosen in 1936; roughly 20 more were selected before the entire group was inducted at the Hall's 1939 opening.

In addition to the regular 1989 Lou Gehrig first day of issue postmark, the Postal Service also used a pictorial postmark with the 50th anniversary logo of the Hall of Fame.This postmark was also used June 12th which was the actual 50th anniversary date as well as being the same anniversary for the issuance of the 3 cent 1939 baseball stamp. 

June 10 & 11 postmarks
