The Baseball Hall of Fame is adding a new All-Star Game “national treasure” to its halls after Tuesday’s Midsummer Classic.
Among several artifacts from the American League’s 4-0 win over the National League, MLB donated the Declaration of Independence-style starting lineup card to the Hall of Fame. Each member of the first nine from both leagues signed the oversized scroll at home plate before lining up for the pregame National Anthem.
All-Star Game MVP Cody Bellinger is sending his bat to Cooperstown. The tan piece of lumber saw Bellinger go 1-for-3 on the evening, including a two-run single in the first inning that was enough for the AL to capture the win.
Hometown hero Bryce Harper additionally donated his SEPTA-inspired cleats to the Hall of Fame. The Phillies superstar, who also competed in Monday’s Home Run Derby, wore his newly designed Under Armour cleats in the All-Star Game. They’re metallic to mimic Philadelphia’s train cars and feature distinct colors to represent the city’s different train lines.
