On the 9th of this month – the now-traditional second Tuesday of October for the announcement of the British Baseball Hall of Fame’s annual class – seven more individuals will be enshrined, bringing the total number of inductees to 18.

Three people – Ross Kendrick, Sir John Moores, and Norman Wells – were inducted in the first class back in 2009. They were joined by a set of five in 2010, and then three more individuals in 2011. The 2012 class will be the biggest yet and includes representatives from across the game’s history on British shores.

The 2012 class will be jointly announced on www.baseballgb.co.uk and www.britishbaseball.org.
