Inspiring keynote address by Melissa Ludtke to kick off 3 days of presentations and discussions at the 37th annual Cooperstown Symposium at the @baseballhall
#HOFSymposium

Was fortunate enough to see him go 5 for 5 in a game at Candlestick Park in 1982. The man could flat out hit. RIP.

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

The Hall of Fame remembers Bob Horner, who passed away at 68.

Debuting days after the @Braves drafted him No. 1 overall, Horner was named the 1978 NL Rookie of the Year.

The bat he used in 1986 to record the 11th four-home run game in AL/NL history is preserved in Cooperstown.

Excited about the lineup for this week’s Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture, co-sponsored by @baseballhall and @SUNY_Oneonta, and to speaking about my work on baseball and television.

Exciting news—a first look at the cover design for my upcoming book, "Baseball Changes Channels: The Dodgers, the Giants and the Birth of Pay TV." Coming from @McFarlandBooks in late 2026, stay tuned for updates!

@RichHansen33 @abathrowbacks @brettmgoldberg @SportsonPrime @CoachKarl22 @JuliusErving @ArtisGilmore53 @toddlieberman @lana_sports @droppingdimes67 The stories of some of the characters of the ABA who aren’t very well remembered today would be great. Wendell Ladner stories alone could fill an entire episode!

Clumsy search reflects poorly on the AD, but in the end he’s gotten himself a very good coach.

Amen, Hoops.

Prop bets are the worst thing to happen to the integrity of professional sports.

Best HOF plaque image ever.

Welcome to baseball immortality, Dick Allen.

[David Gunzerath @hawkdoc97]

So how did it compare to the ‘82 U.S. Open at Pebble? Aside from having the lovely Sandy with you this time, of course!

[Rich Scarcella @nittanyrich]

Attending the @TheOpen was something my wife and I will never forget.

@nittanyrich Congratulations, Rich!

@alsalazar25 @baseballhall @SUNY_Oneonta Unfortunately, no. At this point in my career, I thought it best to save what game I have left for the Stickmen old timers tilts.

[David Gunzerath @hawkdoc97]

It’s been a terrific 3 days of entertaining and informative sessions at this year’s Symposium. Thanks to @baseballhall and @SUNY_Oneonta for all your hard work in putting it together!

[Josh Rawitch @HOFprez]

A favorite for many attendees of our annual Symposium is town ball, an 18th and 19th century precursor to modern baseball. Zoom in to check out the ummp!

No place on earth better to watch college basketball than in a packed Palestra.

The Pirates need to bring back this ruggedly handsome son of a bitch tomorrow and we all know it.

Loved visiting Manny’s every season, the only place to pick up out of town teams’ yearbooks back in the day.

@HoopsWeiss The only thing good about the Crown is that it’s made the NIT a true mid major tournament featuring worthy teams overlooked by the March Madness selection committee, rather than a competition among mediocre P4 teams with losing league records who were left out of the NCAA.

[David Gunzerath @hawkdoc97]

Huge, huge, huge for the Nats. Control of one’s own TV rights is essential in MLB, particularly in today’s rapidly changing media environment. Also very well may open the door for a newly revised bid for the team by Ted Leonsis. #Nationals
