Since its founding in 1939 in Cooperstown, New York, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, the pantheon of America’s pastime, has enshrined 234 former players in Major League Baseball (and 99 managers, Negro League stars, umpires, executives, and pioneers of the sport). This gallery features cigarette and chewing tobacco advertisements with endorsements by players in the Hall of Fame.
