Ryno HOF Ceremony - Broadcast?

[mopapa]

Forgive me if this has been posted previously. Does anyone know if Ryno's Hall of Fame induction ceremony will air live nationally, on ESPN or any place else? I tried searching the ESPN and TV Guide sites, but didn't see anything listed. I know that WGN will show at least part of it on that night's news, but I'd really like to see in its entirety and live, if possible. Thanks for any help you can give.

Vance and I will be stalking Ryno all weekend long.

On a somewhat-related note, CSN Chicago will be having an honorary day of programming for Ryno on July 30. A half-hour special, "Ryne Sandberg: The Call to the Hall", will air at 6:00pm CDT, followed immediately by a rebroadcast of the famous June 23, 1984 Cubs/Cardinals game at Wrigley (aka, The Sandberg Game).

 

Re-live the memories before Ryno's HOF induction.

According to my DirecTV on-screen programming guide, the ceremonies will be televised beginning 1:30 P.M. Eastern time on ESPN Classic.

 

For DirecTV customers outside the Chicago area I think there is an inexpensive way to watch the programming on CSN. Subscribe to the Sports Pack, and you should be able to see the programs (since they're not live game broadcasts they shouldn't be blacked out). Then, if you cancel the subscription the next day you'd only be charged for one day. I know that works; I did it once in the past. Monthly subscriptions are prorated for partial months, even if only one day.

I'm staying in Schenectady. On Friday, I'm driving to Boston to see the Red Sox, and will be in Cooperstown on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

For the last several years (at least since 2000) it has been broadcast live on ESPN Classic.

[EricG]

Looking at my reservations Vance, I guess I am staying in Schenectady also. Get in Friday, go to the Hall Sat/Sun, leave Monday.

we should've gotten special Ryno shirts made so the NSBBers could see each other while wandering around Cooperstown

Gak! Naturally! I don't get ESPN Classic any more. Guess I'll have to be satisfied with whatever coverage "they" decide to show. Thanks, everyone, for the quick responses. They're very much appreciated.

You gonna be there too Tom?

I'll be there and loving every minute of it,,,a couple of buddies and I got a campsite about 15 minutes away from Cooperstown,,,we're getting there Thursday night and leaving Monday

 

as far as spotting each other,,,there's gotta be something,,,

[Cubzfan64]

I'm planning to be at the HOF all day Saturday to wander around, then staying overnight at the Quality Inn N - Schenectady, then all day Sunday - gonna try to plant myself in a good spot as early as possible Sunday with a lawn chair, a good book and something to drink so I have a nice spot for the ceremony in the afternoon.

 

I imagine it wouldn't do much good to tell you I'll be the one in the Cubs hat and #23 Ryne Sandberg shirt :wink:

You might check MLB radio (their schedule doesn't go that far yet) - they may broadcast it and you can at least hear the audio.

I vote that you all shave your heads and paint your entire body Cubbie blue (with NSBB in red).

ehhh What the hey? I am all for promoting the site. Maybe T-shirts with the letters though, not so sure about shirtless.

Whatever the case, I am looking forward to meeting some NSBB guys.
