By Walt Hickey Cooperstown The National Baseball Hall of Fame is dealing with a bit of a cash crunch, with net assets declining from $67 million to $63 million in 2022 after a year in which the Hall made just $2.36 million in revenue. That is down from $9.43 million in 2021 — buoyed not by attendance but public grants owing to the pandemic — and steeply down from $14.2 million in revenue in 2019. That’s rough, and the result of a number of factors that are difficult to fix or reverse, and so significant that it’s potentially an issue for the town of Cooperstown that hosts it. Last year the Hall enjoyed 236,406 visitors, up from 167,178 in 2021 but still down considerably from the 275,000 visitors in 2019.
