Welcome from Dale Petroskey,
President, National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Greetings!
Welcome to Otsego County, home to Coooperstown and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Baseball has been our National Pastime since the sport was introduced in America in the early 1800s. As an integral part of the fabric that defines American culture, Baseball has sustained and endured, being passed along from generation to generation. We hope your experience with Baseball World is fun and memorable. You'll undoubtedly sharpen your individual skills and learn even more about being a team player, both key ingredients for success in baseball and life. We look forward to seeing you in Cooperstown.

My Best Wishes,

Dale A. Petroskey, President
