Sports Sermon: Shutout at the Hall of Fame

The Major League Baseball Hall of Fame is a place where the greats of our nation’s pastime are immortalized for their contributions to the game. It is where fathers will take their sons to see relics of sluggers such as Babe Ruth and revel in the sport’s history for decades to come. It pays tribute to the men who helped build the tradition of baseball. Or at least, that is what the voters who select inductees apparently believe the Hall to be.
