COOPERSTOWN – “Fifty thousand people are expected to pour into Cooperstown this weekend to help celebrate the induction of six legendary names into the National Baseball Hall of Fame,” CBS This Morning reported today.

“But as CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg reports, the chairman of the Hall has a unique history of her own, and she doesn’t even work for the major leagues,” it continued.

“‘I hope someday that some of the young fellas coming into the game know what it’s like to be a part of the Hall of Fame,’ said Jane Forbes Clark. She is the Hall’s chairman, and granddaughter of its founder, Stephen Carlton Clark.”
