The Baseball Hall of Fame Game, Doubleday Field, Cooperstown, NY
As part of the 1939 celebration of the Baseball Hall of Fame, current and former major league players representing 16 major league teams played a game at Doubleday Field. The team captains were Honus Wagner and Eddie Collins
The following year team owners agreed to send two teams each summer to play a benefit game as part of the Induction weekend celebrations. The games featured one team from each of the leagues. The 1940 game featured the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs. By 2003 the game was moved to an earlier date in the calendar, and would be played on a weekend unrelated to the Hall of Fame Induction ceremonies. The final game would be played in 2008, but was canceled due to inclement weather.
