Among the festivities hosted by the Hall of Fame on Induction Weekend each year is the official photograph. Taken along the banks of beautiful Lake Oswego, the formal photo collects all the Hall of Famers present at that year’s induction, though there are some guys like Bob Feller, Pee Wee Reese and Ernie Banks who attended almost every year, others made the trek sporadically or even just once. This group of three formal Induction Weekend portraits have been signed by a galaxy of Hall of Fame talent who made the Cooperstown trip in three different years.
The 1984 photo has been signed by Al Kaline, Pee Wee Reese, Joe Sewell, Charlie Gehringer, Harmon Killebrew, Ralph Kiner, Sandy Koufax, Rick Ferrell, Johnny Mize, Don Drysdale, Lefty Gomez, Monte Irvin, Judy Johnson, George Kell, Duke Snider, Early Wynn, Luis Aparicio, Billy Herman, Burleigh Grimes, Warren Spahn, Bill Terry, Ernie Banks, Negro Leaguers Buck Leonard and Judy Johnson, umpire Jocko Conlon and Commissioner Happy Chandler.

The Hall of Famers have signed the mattes of each photo in various pens and markers. A very attractive display that collects some of the greatest names in baseball signed during the weekend created to celebrate their contributions to the game.
