MLB: Hall of Fame offers Jamie Moyer internship

DENVER—Upon earning the distinction as the oldest winning pitcher in baseball history on Tuesday night, Rockies starter Jamie Moyer admitted—with some degree of regret—that he is not educated on baseball history.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum would love to help Moyer. The Hall issued a press release on Thursday saying it is offering Moyer an opportunity to study in Cooperstown, N.Y., as part of the Museum’s Frank and Peggy Steele Internship Program, “should he ever retire.” [...]

“Jamie certainly has shown the dedication we look for in our program’s candidates, and we believe that Jamie has the stuff necessary to make it as a Hall of Fame historian, with a little hard work and perseverance.” [...]

“We are thankful to Jamie for donating these important items of baseball history [his cap and glove] to Cooperstown so that fans from every generation in which he’s pitched, and for those future generations who might yet see him on the mound in years to come, can enjoy these timeless treasures in perpetuity,” Horn said. “Perhaps one day, even, Jamie will be recognized as not only an important figure in the game’s history on the mound, but as one of the great historians of the game.”
