The New Baseball Hall of Fame

The Baseball Hall of Fame is filled with memoribilia from every era, statistics, stories, plaques, knickknacks and almost every conceivable thing you can stuff in there to tell the story of baseball.

But the Baseball Hall of Fame is missing one thing — an actual Hall of Famer. With Ted Williams becoming the Splendid Popsicle, all this could change.

I propose that Ted gets removed from extended Spring Training in Arizona — what, no cryogenics lab in Winter Haven? — to become the prized collection in Cooperstown.

The sportswriters will appreciate the new angles and puns associated with this induction. "The newest installation in Cooperstown is cool..." Rather than induction ceremonies, perhaps convection ceremonies — it would certainly keep the crowds cooler.

Cross promotions could include "Tedsicles", DNA guessing games, and matching — How many DNA pairs do you have in common with a Hall of Famer (for only $29.95) — leave a tissue sample and we'll cross-match you. Think of how that can be expanded when more guys get convected...
