The Baseball Reliquary will present the 2013 Induction Day ceremony for its fifteenth class of electees to the Shrine of the Eternals on Sunday, July 21, 2013, beginning at 2:00 p.m., at the Donald R. Wright Auditorium in the Pasadena Central Library, 285 E. Walnut Street, Pasadena, California. Admission is open to the public and free of charge. Please note that seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once seating capacity has been reached, we will have to turn people away at the door. We encourage attendees to arrive no later than 1:30 p.m. when the auditorium doors open. The inductees will be Lefty O’Doul, Eddie Feigner, and Manny Mota. The keynote address will be delivered by Dave Zirin. In addition, the Baseball Reliquary will honor the recipients of the 2013 Hilda Award, Emma Amaya, and the 2013 Tony Salin Memorial Award, Steve Bandura.
The festivities will commence with an Induction Day tradition, the ceremonial bell ringing in honor of the late Brooklyn Dodgers fan Hilda Chester; everyone who attends is encouraged to bring a bell to ring for the occasion.
