Abstract: We prove that if the Vietoris hyperspace $ CL(X)$ of all nonempty closed subsets of a space $ X$ is Baire, then all finite powers of $ X$ must be Baire spaces. In particular, there exists a metrizable Baire space $ X$ whose Vietoris hyperspace $ CL(X)$ is not Baire. This settles an open problem of R. A. McCoy stated in 1975.
