COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum hosted ALS Awareness Weekend Saturday and Sunday. They reflected on players Lou Gehrig and Jim "Catfish" Hunter, who both suffered from the disease, and paid tribute to Pete Frates.

A Boston College outfielder and captain who currently has ALS, Frates helped start the "Ice Bucket Challenge" in 2014. The campaign raised more than $220 million for ALS research.

Some of Frates’ items are currently on display from when he took the "Ice Bucket Challenge" at Fenway Park. He couldn't make the trip, but his parents and current Boston College varsity baseball team players were there to see the exhibit featuring his pieces.

"It's very much a mentorship role, and he's also he's an idol for a lot of these guys. He is the model of who we want to be," said Boston College Head Baseball Coach Mike Gambino, of the relationship Frates has with the team now.

Museum employees want to tell the stories of Gehrig, Hunter and Frates and will be doing so with a new exhibit about the connection between baseball and ALS.
