A lot of BB hats & jersey, t-shirt stores. I can imagine card shops, or really any store, having a hard time getting traffic in the winter. The town was pretty sleepy in April. Maybe "pop up" stores emerge during the peak of summer.
With so much commerce done online these days, I don't know how actual stores in any type of business can stay open. I don't think we can have it both ways.

I went in the winter for the first time ever a couple years ago. I've been in the summer about 10 times or so.
I have to admit to liking the winter much more. Sat at the bar with the locals and heard how much the lady who runs or ran the HOF has ruined their town.
