451 Clifford ColemanThis game is more than likely responsible for the love of the game being passed from thousands of parents to thousands of children every year. It was my first experience with live baseball and my fondest memory of my favorite pastime. To cancel this game is to deny a lasting memory from countless would-be baseball fans. This is a mistake and I pray this isn't truly the end of our beloved Hall of Fame Game.
452 Jamie BordleyI grew up in cooperstown and this was the 1st, 2nd ,3rd, etc baseball game I went to as a kid. It holds a big place in my heart. Make it an official game too! It could be a special game.
453 CAROL COOPERIF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO DOUBLEDAY FIELD TO SEE A BALL GAME YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT UNIQUE AND INTIMATE EXPERIENCE THIS PARK OFFERS TO BASBALL LOVERS.

462 Steven WebbYou CANT take away the HOF Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
463 Randy Redner
464 Dan Zdanowicz
465 Steve WrzesienThe more young players visit the HOF, the better they will play. Then maybe one day they'll see their own plaque! The only way to get the players to Cooperstown is to play the Hall of Fame Game!
466 Michael CookI have great memories of the HoF game I went to. Got a signature from Jim Abbott, my favorite player of all time, and got a good laugh from Rex Hudler outside of the bathroom ("You don't wanna shake my hand, I didn't wash 'em").

475 Doug MacGregorIf they claim for this to be a scheduling problem, then why can't they schedule this on the Saturday before the season starts. After all, they made this happen for the Civil Rights game.
476 Chris FioriIn times of rising baseball salaries, players who don't seem to care about the fans, and the cost to attend a game being too prohibitive for most families, please don't take this tradition away. As a kid growing up in upstate NY, I attended at least 8 of these games, with my father, brothers and grandfather. Seeing greats like Cal Ripken Jr., Willie Stargell hit a home run in his only at bat, Rod Carew and Dave Winfield (I even went to the game as an adult with my father the year Dave and Kirby Puckett were inducted), are memories I will never forget. Maybe a little travel inconvenience for today's players is a good thing. Bring them back to the roots of baseball, memories of their minor league days, and how much their "48 hr sacrifice" will create a lifetime of memories for the fans who support them.
477 Bill BennettPlease !
478 AnonymousThey can go to Japan but not to Cooperstown. How sad for our country.
479 chrisplease keep it going!

481 debbie LangenfelderHow can you cancel a tradition that started in 1939? Baseball is a constant in so many lives. Cooperstown exemplifies a town and tradition that can't be found anywhere. Why break it? You are breaking hearts of youngsters that aren't even able to know you are yet.
482 Charles CrooksPlease continue the Hall of Fame Game. I haven't visited Cooperstown yet, but plan to soon. Not everything needs to be mega-commercial with 50,000 seat stadiums. Revere tradition !!
483 David CamadineThis tradition is a part of the fabric of Baseball. I can't imagine not having the Hall of Fame game played in Cooperstown on the hallowed grounds of Doubleday Field.
484 Zach Saiawhy cant we save one of the last parts of baseballl history thats left?
485 Charles CarusoKeep th baseball tradition and not make decision based on dollars.
486 STEPHEN RYANPlease keep the Hall of Fame game and get rid of some regular season games .
487 Franklyn CarusoApparently MLB and the Players Association don't make enough money on the HOF Game.
488 Dave VisbeckLets ... PLAY BALL! I hope and wish the tradition continues on.
489 Vincent MiscioneSave the Hall of Fame Game !
