The Yawkey Foundation is honored to celebrate nearly nine decades of partnership with the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum through support of the Black Baseball Initiative and “The Souls of the Game: Voices of Black Baseball” exhibit. Since Tom Yawkey’s first visit to Cooperstown in 1939, the Yawkeys and the Foundation perpetuating their legacy have consistently provided support for a wide range of The Hall’s projects: a donation of bleacher seating from Fenway Park for Doubleday Field, construction of the Grandstand Theater and the Library expansion, ongoing artifacts conservation efforts, and collection storage, cataloguing, and digitalization to expand access to educational and programming initiatives.
