Vicki Gates, proprietor of the Phoenix Inn in Cooperstown, N.Y., where the Fiegs have spent several summer weekends, reports that a historically large turnout is expected for Induction Week at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in that city.

"I've already got a waiting list of four or five people," she said, noting that there are few, if any, vacancies left anywhere in town.  Nonetheless, Greg and Eddie Fieg are already making their plans to be there to join in the tumultuous welcome being accorded to former Braves manager Bobby Cox, former Yankees manager Joe Torre and former Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa, who are to be enshrined during the third weekend of July.

As if that weren't enough, former super-stars Craig Biggio of the Astros, Frank Thomas of the White Sox, Mike Messina of the Yankees and ten to twenty more newly named nominees could yet be admitted.

Greg and Eddie urge all who are interested to contact them and come to Cooperstown.
