The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum will officially welcome its four newest members Wednesday afternoon. This year’s induction ceremony will honor the 2020 Hall of Fame class, led by Derek Jeter and Larry Walker. Last summer’s ceremony was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 Hall of Fame class is empty as no player received the requisite votes for induction. Here’s how you can watch the Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
To summarize this year’s honorees:
- The 2020 class includes Larry Walker and Derek Jeter (BBWAA vote), Ted Simmons (player via veteran committee vote) and Marvin Miller (former union boss via veteran committee vote).
- The 2021 class is empty. The BBWAA did not vote anyone in and the veteran committee did not hold a vote during the virtual winter meetings over the offseason.
As usual, the Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on the lawn outside the Hall of Fame itself in Cooperstown, New York. Throngs of Yankees fans are expected to attend Jeter’s induction, though it should also be noted Walker is becoming the first Rockies player in the Hall of Fame.
