Facing a tight deadline, the New Haven, Conn.-based lighting restoration company recreated an antique crystal chandelier that fell during cleaning, only 12 days before the 2007 National Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. 

Cooperstown, N.Y., July 28, 2007 -- Twelve days before Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. were inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, workers at the Otesaga Resort and Hotel were cleaning the antique Czech crystal chandelier when it fell 20 feet to the ground.

The Otesaga, which would host the inductees and other baseball greats, was without its crystal centerpiece, which was originally made around 1910 in London. Fortunately, Grand Light was there to pick up the pieces.
