As many of you know, a very special date is on the horizon for me, that still seems surreal. On November 10th, 2024, I am honored, privileged, and humbled to be inducted into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame. It is an event that draws a huge crowd, and tickets to the event sell out very quickly. The 2024 Inductees include and feature: Lawrence Peter (Yogi) Berra, posthumously; Don Mattingly, Buck Showalter and Jesse Barfield, all NY Yankee icons! Local standouts Brian Sweeney, pitching coach of the Kansas City Royals, and Curtis Nobles, State Champion Coach of Ballston Spa and long distinguished success as a player and coach throughout the area.
I have to pinch myself to think that I am included with such great baseball people!
I would love to see many of you in attendance, if you are so able and inclined. My own success is due in part to the many of you who I have come to know through baseball, and grateful for your support and friendship over 28 years in the game!
Date: Sunday, November 10, 2024 Time: 4:00pm Place: The Hilton Garden Inn in Troy ,NY The event kicks off with a Meet and Greet with the Inductees, and other Luminaries in a Reception, followed by a delicious Dinner, and the Induction Speeches. Cost Per Person is $200. These tickets with the Headliners involved will go very fast. I can help secure your place by sending ticket fees directly to me for payment to the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame. You may send ticket requests and fees via Venmo: @james-dalton-09750, or by check payable to me, at 25 Mountainview Terrace, Rensselaer, NY 12144.
I am so blessed to be part of this event and would love to have you there to share in it! I have been so fortunate to have a long association with you all and baseball! God I love this game!!
