The new Cape Cod Baseball League Hall of Fame and Museum opened its doors to the public Tuesday, July 22. The Museum is in “The Dugout,” which is the lower level of the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum at 397 Main St.

Three major sponsors — Curry College, TD Banknorth and Bank of America — sparked the project, which has been in the works since last fall. The actual build-out of the two rooms in the basement of the historic building began in February.

The Hall of Fame, which began in 2001, has 81 members who were inducted in eight classes, starting in 2000. The next class will be inducted Nov. 22 at the Chatham Bars Inn.

Hours of operation will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. Admission to the CCBL Hall of Fame and Museum will be free through the remainder of July.
