Hot Springs, Arkansas will host the ninth annual Hot Springs Baseball Weekend, a free celebration of the city’s deep baseball heritage that runs from Friday through Sunday next week.
Hall of Fame Stars Join the Festivities
The weekend will welcome four former Major League stars — Johnny Bench, Fred McGriff, Dave Stewart and Jack Morris — who will take part in hour‑long sessions followed by a joint panel, with veteran journalist Rex Nelson guiding the conversations.
Expanded Baseball Card Show
Organizers have stretched the popular baseball card show to two days, Saturday and Sunday, giving collectors extra time to browse vendor booths that will sell cards, jerseys and other memorabilia.
Friday evening kicks off with a movie night, while Saturday morning begins at 9 a.m. with player appearances. Sunday’s schedule centers on the card show, rounding out a family‑friendly program that welcomes both longtime fans and newcomers.
A Community Event Backed by Major League Baseball
The event is organized in partnership with Major League Baseball and supported by local sponsors, reinforcing Hot Springs’ reputation as a hub for baseball history. A full schedule and additional details are available online for those planning to attend.
