On This Date in Baseball: June 12


1939 - The greatest-ever gathering of members and future inductees of the Baseball Hall of Fame assembles in Cooperstown, N.Y., for the dedication of the museum: Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson, Grover Alexander, Nap Lajoie, George Sisler, Eddie Collins, Tris Speaker, Cy Young and Connie Mack accept their plaques. They also celebrate the centennial of Abner Doubleday's "invention" of baseball.

1957 - Stan Musial plays in his 823rd game for a new N.L. consecutive-game streak.
