Nov 24 - Cooperstown and Hockey

Cooperstown - Start

On Nov 24 several of us went to Cooperstown to see the Baseball Hall of Fame.

We parked in front of Doubleday field. Yes, it had snowed in Cooperstown recently.

Cooperstown itself is nice. Its very scenic, and a number of the buildings surprisingly are influenced by baseball.

The entrance to the Baseball Hall of Fame and museum - Anne and Chris Kelly are just ahead of me.

Once past the ticket counter the first exhibits are highlights from the last few years. Mark McGuire and Samy Sosa have a cabinet.

McGuire's 62 home run ball.

Chris and Anne in the recent highlights section.

Just past the highlights section is an exhibit on the history of baseball.
