TIM MEAD tells me that cancelling this summer\'s induction weekend was difficult but sensible, and promises to host "a very special ceremony" in 2021. He speaks of attending the 2019 ceremony, his first as the Hall\'s president; being punked, early in his long career with the Angels, by Rod Carew; octogenarian/nonagenarian coach Jimmie Reese\'s mastery of the fungo bat; absorbing the moment of the Angels\' 2002 World Series title; and putting his championship ring on other people\'s fingers.
