COOPERSTOWN - The annual Hall of Fame Classic legends game has quickly become a hit with fans, and the players enjoy it just as much if not more.

The third edition of the Classic on Sunday will feature six Hall of Fame inductees, Ozzie Smith, Goose Gossage, Phil Niekro, Jim Rice, Andre Dawson and Dick Williams, and about 20 other former Major League players including Dale Murphy, Bill Lee, Steve Garvey, Reggie Sanders and Syracuse-area locals Steve Grilli and Frank DiPino.

The festivities start with the parade down Main Street at noon then the hitting contest and game follow at Doubleday Field starting at 1 p.m.
