It took several tries, but Marvin Miller, the longtime Jewish Major League Baseball Players Association chief who changed the sport by transforming the US players’ union into a powerhouse, will finally be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame.
There’s one catch the pandemic-delayed induction ceremony is set to take place on Rosh Hashanah.
The Cooperstown, New York-based Hall of Fame announced last month that the induction will shift from its usual July slot to September 8, the second day of Rosh Hashanah this year. No reason was given explicitly, but a June 9 release suggested the shift was made in hopes that it would be safer to have an in-person ceremony by September, as the coronavirus pandemic abates.
