This morning's adventure took us to Cooperstown, home of the
Baseball Hall of Fame.
We were directed first to a
short movie about the history of baseball and what it takes to make it to the hall of fame.
Afterwards, we started our self-guided tour. We saw
old gloves,
famous signatures that went with
famous jersey's.
We found one of our favorite hall of famer's
from our home state...that would be Nolan Ryan, pitcher for the Texas Rangers.
We saw lots of
championship rings and
a wall full of signed baseballs representing perfect pitched games.
Then there was this
guy...wonder what position he plays? And, then...
Andrew and Lauren watched the famous
Abbott and Costello in "Who's On First?"
Gosh, we even watched as though we had never seen it.
Next stop on the tour...
the Hall of Fame...where we saw
wall after
wall of players who over the years since 1936 have earned the honor to be a part of baseball history.
We even saw the
blank wall were on July 25, 2010,
these three men will be added to the already long list of great baseball players.
Congratulations to all of them!
After our tour, we stopped at
All American Sidewalk Cafe for lunch before we
walked the streets of Cooperstown shopping in all the stores. And, for some reason all
the shops and
restaurants have a baseball theme. I can't imagine why.
What a great time in Cooperstown...certainly there was enough
baseball and
apple pie to make it a real
All American Day!
That's definitely on my list of places I want to visit!! Glad you're having so much fun with the grandkids!!

Looks like a neat place to go . I didn't even know about this place so it will be another to add to our list. Thanks for the preview and the kids look like they are still having a great time.

Can't believe after spending 50 years of our life in New England that we never did make it to Cooperstown. We do hope to make it someday.. Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely on our "to see" list. My sweet Dad always wanted to go there but never made it...we will. We are huge baseball fans!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you all are having!!
