Upstate Yankee fans who've been waiting for Derek Jeter to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame will have to wait until September to make the pilgrimage to Cooperstown.
The Hall of Fame announced Wednesday that this year's induction is being moved to September to allow vaccinated fans to attend. They're, of course, hoping the majority of fans will be vaccinated by then. MLB Network will have live coverage of the event.

When Christian Brothers Academy parted with football coach Joe Burke last month, rumors immediately began circulating that athletic director Blaine Drescher was targeting Troy's Bob "The Builder" Burns, especially after Troy had bludgeoned its way to a Class A title.
Wednesday, Drescher had his man, and now Troy has to find a new coach.
Burns leaves Troy with a 58-4 record in six seasons as football coach, one of the highest winning percentages of any active coach in Section II. What is not known is whether or not Burns, who also coaches outdoor track at Troy, will do the same at CBA.
We must assume Troy will hire from within, unless Burns takes his staff with him to CBA. Troy will make a corresponding move before training camp begins in two months' time.
After the 2021 fall schedule was released two weeks ago, Troy supporters envisioned another title run. Now, Burnt Hills, Queensbury, and everyone else who were run over by the Troy steamroller, are licking their chops, hoping for revenge.
But that's why they play the games.
====================================
Another night, another loss for the Tri-City Valleycats.
The momentum from Sunday's win over New Jersey dissipated with Tuesday's storms, and the NY Boulders continued their dominance over the 'Cats with a 7-1 win. Carlos Sano (0-1), who was so brilliant on Friday vs. New Jersey, couldn't get out of the fifth inning this time, charged with all seven Boulders runs on 5 hits, with 5 walks and 5 K's.
=====================================
The road to the Section II Class A softball title will go through the North Country.
Top-seeded Averill Park was eliminated by Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake, 8-2, in a major upset, ending Kevin Earl's 1st season as Warriors coach.
Second seeded South Glens Falls ended Troy's run, 6-0, as Hannah Breen checked the Flying Horses with a 1 hit shutout, fanning 15. Breen was also 3-3 at the plate with a double and 2 RBI. Troy finishes 9-8 on the season (6-7 Suburban Council), and will have a solid core of players returning next season.
The Bulldogs will host third-seeded Queensbury today, with the winner to host either Burnt Hills or Amsterdam on Saturday.
====================================
The other Class A quarters have Amsterdam at LaSalle, and Queensbury at Burnt Hills.
===============================
To follow up on a story from earlier this week, the Lake George school board voted to cancel their football team's merger with Corinth for this season, after hearing protests from some of the players last week. Corinth was going to merge with Lake George & Hadley-Luzerne, since with 7 players, they don't have enough to field their own team, due to diminishing interest.
