Baseball Hall of Fame

Plaques for the 2019 class at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum hang next to empty spots where the plaques for the 2020 class will eventually go. Since the museum reopened in late June, some aspects of the exhibits have changed. With the plaques, for example, there's now signs and a rope strung in front of the display to deter visitors from touching them, when that used to be something the museum allowed people to do.Baseball Hall of Fame
