A special commission created by
baseball executive Albert Spalding
determined in 1908 that Abner Doubleday
invented the game of baseball 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.
June 12, 1939, the Cavalcade of Baseball was played on Doubleday Field in
Cooperstown, New York. A sell-out crowd
of more than 10,000 saw a team of
National and American League players
selected by Honus Wagner via the
Choose-up" method, defeat a team
captained by Eddie Collins, 4-2 in
seven innings.
