As we all know the virus is not going to be going away by june or july or whenever they have the ceramony.

As it is highly doubtful that Cuomo will reopen the state by then as well.

Do you think they will have it even if it is just the players and a few higher ups in mlb and a few media persons and no fans.

If they do is there any way to watch it on the internet since I do not have cable.

I don't belive that they will be a baseball HOF cereremony this year.  It is more likely that the Pro Football HOF ceremnony will be delayed if not cancelled.  If there is a baseball HOF ceremony someone will stream it on the internet probably the basebll HOF itself.

FWIW, there is precedence for the baseball HOF, whom cancelled formal inductions during WWII due to travel restricitions. 

It wouldn't be until 2013 that those clases, despite plaques being created and hung, got a formal induction ceremony.  But they (which included Lou Gehrig who couldn't travel period to what would have been his induction in 1940) were due in part to zero BBWAA inductees that year, the three Vet committee inductees being elected via the pre-intergration committee so all three had been deceased since the 1940s, and even the Ford Frick Award Winner Tom Cheek had passed on by that point. 

So the lone living celebrant that year was the Spink Award winner, Paul Hagen!

Derek Jeter not getting his moment in the sun? I doubt it! ;)

It wouldn't surprise me if they allowed this year's class to get formally inducted with next year's group. (Which may work out anyway since there are no slam-dunk players in next year's group. It may offset another empty election year.)

Just got an email from the Baseball Hall Of Fame. As expected this years induction ceremony has been postponed until next year.

The basketball Hall of Fame is scheduled for August. I wonder if they will happen, or on time? We'll find out. 

Any word on the Pro Football Hall?  

Especially considering the September induction of the Centennial Class enshrines was set up so the weekend festivities wouldn't be so bloated.
