St. Michaels’ very own Harold Baines took to the stage last weekend to a crowd of close to 50,000 in Cooperstown, New York. At the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Baines joined a very special membership of baseball’s greatest players. T
he Former White Sox superstar was noticeably moved by the honor as he finished his remarks by saying, “Somehow I acquired a reputation for not saying much. I’m not sure why,” he deadpanned at the start. “From teachers to coaches who showed me kindness and discipline, I thank you all for what you’ve done for me. If I can leave you with one message, it’s to give back to your community. I stand here very humbled. It has taken time to sink in.”
Spy agent 5 (00 Unit) was there on assignment to catch some of the excitement as Talbot County locals joined the celebrity crowd to honor one of St. Michaels special leaders.

Thank you so much for this article. It was great watching the video of the Hall of Fame presentation and Harold Baines speech.
Harold Baines has done the Eastern Shore, Talbot County and St Michaels proud. Most of all he has done his family proud and deserves every accolade he has received.
