COOPERSTOWN—Adrian Beltré, Todd Helton, Jim Leyland and Joe Mauer will be celebrated July 19-22 as the eyes of the sports world turn to Cooperstown for baseball’s best weekend. More than 50 Hall of Famers are scheduled to be in Cooperstown to honor the newest members of the game’s most exclusive fraternity.

The quartet’s accomplishments filled stat sheets time and again during their big league careers, with scores of awards and honors to tell the tale. Soon, those stories will be told in bronze as the Class of 2024 is formally inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be held Sunday, July 21 at 1:30 p.m. on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center, located one mile south of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Leyland was elected by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee for Managers, Executives and Umpires in December, and a month later Beltré, Helton and Mauer earned election via the annual Baseball Writers’ Association of America vote.
