One of the great traditions in baseball takes place every summer at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Not only are the inductees of that particular year on hand to take their rightful place in the hallowed "Hall," they are supported by a cast of past HOFers who sit on the stage behind them as they give their heartfelt induction speeches. Offered is an outstanding baseball that was signed at a 1974 Hall of Fame Induction Day in Cooperstown. That year saw teammates and lifelong “partners in crime” Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford enter the Hall as the lone inductees.
