If you’re curious about how the @baseballhall selects and acquires artifact donations in real-time as history happens - from the regular session through the World Series, @ZackMeisel has a great run-down. https://t.co/lXQJGByvov

Less than 48 hours after the final pitch, I had the pleasure of sharing 2026 World Series artifacts with HOF visitors—including some very happy Brewers fans! These will soon be displayed in our Autumn Glory exhibit, giving fans the chance to extend the celebration to Cooperstown.

[Jon Shestakofsky @Shesta_HOF]

Generations of Brewers fans celebrated their first World Series championship. We’re honored that team captain Christian Yelich, Miz, Aaron Ashby and many others are donating artifacts to the @baseballhall that will forever tell the story of a city’s purest moment of baseball joy.

Shifting from the outfield to shortstop was no sweat for @mookiebetts, who turned the series-ending double play in Game 7.

The transpacific exchange of baseball — as told in the @baseballhall’s “Yakyu | Baseball” exhibit — through the lens of Ichiro’s historic induction. A great read before visiting Cooperstown to see Ichiro’s plaque and this brand new exhibit in person. https://t.co/axvnKIuONH

[Jon Shestakofsky @Shesta_HOF]

No marks when you hit it flush! @JeffPassan caught a neat interaction in the clubhouse after Kyle Schwarber’s heroics in the historic #AllStarGame swing off. The bat he used, which he generously donated to the @baseballhall, remains pristine - 3 swings, 3 homers, all flush.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Free at ESPN: The All-Star Game swing-off was a smashing success for baseball. It didn’t matter what it could’ve been because what it delivered was awesome. https://t.co/yAttb1Kn65

The @RedSox have played 124 seasons and Joe Castiglione has been on the microphone broadcasting 42 of them. That’s more than a third of the team’s existence!

Congrats to Joe on an incredible career. The ballpark won’t be the same without the joy he brings to every game.

[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ @baseballhall]

Going out on top as the 2024 Ford C. Frick Award winner. All the best in retirement, Joe!

[Jon Shestakofsky @Shesta_HOF]

It was such a pleasure to have longtime friend and Red Sox official scorer Bob Ellis back in Cooperstown last week. He donated his scorecard from the August 26 game in which Danny Jansen made history appearing for both Boston and Toronto in the same game. Thank you, Bob!

[Jon Shestakofsky @Shesta_HOF]

Two weeks ago, Rich Hill visited the @baseballhall with his son’s youth baseball team from Milton, Massachusetts. Today he returned to the mound for a fourth stint with his hometown @redsox in his 20th major league season. What a career for one of the nicest guys in baseball!

44-year-old Rich Hill.

Every baseball fan should learn about the Cannon Street All-Stars, a story also featured in the @baseballhall's newest exhibit, The Souls of the Game: Voices of Black Baseball.

[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ @baseballhall]

In 1955, the Cannon Street All-Stars struck a blow for equal opportunity without ever stepping onto the field. #SoulsoftheGame
