A special site for a special Hall weekend
The 2007 Hall of Fame Induction Weekend will be the stuff of legend for a long time. A record 75,000 fans crowded onto rolling hills of Cooperstown, N.Y., to see the inductions of Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. -- far more than the 50,000 that had been the most before, in 1999. A record 14,000 visitors entered the Museum on the Saturday of Induction Weekend, nearly 5,000 more than any day in the 68-year history of the facility -- and 20,000 combined that Friday and Saturday. There were 55 living Hall of Famers on stage that Sunday, including Ripken and Gwynn -- the largest such gathering ever in one place. So it just made sense that this special weekend required a special online presence, and fans found that with the relaunched BaseballHall.org site. It is now powered by MLB Advanced Media, and fans were able to find around-the-clock exclusive and comprehensive content to live up to a weekend that we will never forget.
