This year's HOF signings on Saturday, 7/26, were a disaster. Whoever organizes this weekend needs to go back to the drawing board. Saturday at the Tunnicliff was so disorganized. The gentleman at the door announcing the signing and who can come in was totally overwhelmed and in over his head. He didn't know what to do out there. It probably wasn't his fault, but he should be given a new job next year. I don't know who's job it is to keep the stairs clear, but the crowd gathered around that was ridiculous. Put up some sawhorses or ropes or something to keep people back. My wife and I had to continuously push our way up to the front when it was our turn to go in. As far as inside, there has got to be better organization. You can't tell what line goes to what player. More MAB personnel should be stationed inside to route fans where to go. A bigger venue should be looked at when you're dealing with this many fans and players signing. I know that may be tough to do since you want to be right in town. And lastly, it was ridiculous that players got up and walked out. I understand that we are all on their time, but if they are not going to sign for all of the tickets that you sell, than don't sell as many. Sutton and Cepeda walked out, and I watched Molitor get up and leave when there were still fans outside waiting. 2013 was my first year there, and it seemed to go so smoothly. I was really surprised how this year was so different. Bring back the door man from 2013. He was great. He kept everyone informed as to where they were at with ticket numbers and kept it organized around the door. The guy this year didn't know what to do. He kept yelling "recap," and wouldn't tell us anything. Definitely some work to do before 2015.

I went to the Hall of Fame Spectacular at the Tunnicliff Inn to get Reggie Jackson to sign my 2014 Yankees Old Timers Day baseball and agree that it was a complete disaster. I wasn't there last year, but I think the reason that things went so smoothly last year is that there weren't as many people in Cooperstown for Hall of Fame Weekend. MAB has so many players signing that on a typical Hall of Fame Weekend the Tunnicliff In is just too small for a show of this magnitude. Even if they can't find a bigger place, there are two obvious solutions: either set up tables ouside and have the players sign outside (Pioneer Street is closed to vehicle traffic during Hall of Fame weekend) so that fans don't have to go inside the hotel ornjust cut down on the number of players signing autographs. For people who are planning to go to Cooperstown during future Hall of Fame Weekends and getting autographs at the Hall of Fame Spectacular, I recomend going on signingshotline.com before going and getting the schedukes for the autograph sessions. Since many players do multiple signings at different locations while in Cooperstown, it might be possible to get the players you want at one of the busnesses on Main Street and avoid the Tunnicliff Inn. For me this year, no such luck as Reggie was only appearing at the Hall of Fame Spectacular.

Until this year, Pioneer Street hasn't been closed off since 2007. And not for nothing, but last year there was 2,500 people at the induction last year vs. this year's 48,000. Of course we do notice the changes that needed to be made going forward. Thanks for the feedback!

I think MAB did a good job based on the sheer volume of fans that attended. Compared to all the other companies that run signings in Cooperstown, MAB did the best job and yet had the most signers. All the other venues in town were swamped as well and extremely disorganized. The small town that Cooperstown is cannot handle the accomdatations needed for all these signings. There is no big hall in town to rent out. So, pretty much its relax, find patience, and grab a snickers becuase it will probably be a while before you can get everything signed. I have been going to Cooperstown induction weekend for several years, and the main tip I would have for someone that is after alot of signers is, anyone you can get on Friday, do so! I was there Friday thru Monday this year and thought things went well at MAB and were comparable to years past. Saturday was the busiest I have ever seen it, but I was able to get everything signed I was after. The normal entryway crowding happens at every signing, no matter who the vendor is. I did get items signed at every place in town over the weekend, so if my number was not up at the MAB, I went somewhere else and came back. Having been to Cooperstown for several years worth of signings, I have learned that the players are on their own schedule. They rarely adhere to times. I missed out on Billy Williams this year as after Friday he dissappeared from the rest of his planned signings, but alas, he will likely be there next year. Almost all the HOFers there were there this year, will be there next year. Very few of the HOFers ever miss a year or signing opportunity.

I agree. This year at tunnicliff was rough. The guy who was announcing players clearly was not a baseball fan. He was botching names left and right. Kinda felt bad for him.

What the hell? Can somebody over at MAB get up off their a$$ and make me understand why these posts on here are either scrambled or are intercepts from Trump to his Russian handler.
