Save the Fame Game ends big league Cooperstown tradition
Longtime baseball fans react to MLB ending the Hall of Fame Game in Cooperstown. Kristian Connolly, a local, spearheads a campaign with a site savethefamegame com and letters to Bud Selig and other leaders. Feller calls it money driven and politicians weigh in while Selig cites scheduling limits and past adjustments. Connolly plans a parade appearance, a banner, and a moment of silence during the game to rally public support.
