A special commission created by
baseball executive Albert Spalding
determined in 1908 that Abner Doubleday
invented the game in 1839. One hundred
Years after Doubleday designed the
first diamond, baseball celebrated it's
100th birthday. On June 12, 1939 to
commemorate baseball's centennial, the
Cooperstown Baseball Hall Of Fame
opened its doors to the public. This
prestigious inaugural event was held at
Doubleday field to honor the 26 Hall of
Fame inductees including the 5 original
1936 members.
Sold in the National Baseball Hall Of Fame's gift shop during the 1940s,
this standard size linen souvenir
postcard was produced to commemorate
the ceremonies held on Doubleday Field
on June 12, 1939. The postcard reads:
"On this field in 1839 was played the
first game of baseball, invented by
Major General Abner Doubleday of Civil
War fame. Babe Ruth and many other
famous baseball players were here for
the cavalcade of baseball, June 12,
1939"
