I did this trip pretty much. September as well. We were staying in queens. What we did is we went to the airport and rented a car around 3 in the morning. We drove all the way up there and arrived in cooperstown around 8am. We checked out doubleday field, walked around the town with virtually no one else around, had breakfast, and went into the HOF by 9. We were out by 3ish...went shopping around the town for a couple hours. Then headed back on the road by about 5, and got back into NYC around 10ish I'd say.
It was easy for us b/c it was 5 dudes in our twenties. Might b a whole different story for a family. But if everyone sleeps in the car it can work
