New York Mets to play Baltimore Orioles in Hall of Fame game

The New York Mets will play the Baltimore Orioles in next year's Hall of Fame game on May 21, a rematch of the 1969 World Series.

Orioles great Cal Ripken Jr. is expected to be the focus of the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies on July 29. A two-time MVP who played in 2,632 consecutive games to break Lou Gehrig's record streak, Ripken is considered a certain first-ballot inductee next year.

The teams in the annual Hall exhibition game were announced Monday. The Mets play at Atlanta on May 22, and the Orioles host the Blue Jays.
