Only two former Cape Cod Baseball League players can be found in the hallowed halls of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., but on Jan. 8, 2014, that number could change dramatically.
Jim Prete stole the spotlight at the 14th Cape Cod Baseball League Hall of Fame induction by becoming a third inductee to a Hall of Fame family from Sagamore.
On July 5, 2006, Josh Phegley was named “Mr. Baseball” in his home state of Indiana. Seven years later – to the day – he became Cape Cod's “Mr. 1,000.”
It's a Cape Cod Baseball League tradition to begin each year's Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony with a short video of the inductees, and the strains of John Sebastian’s "Welcome Back" greeting its greats.
