Today was my first day in Cooperstown.

[101SOX19]

After a self imposed 10 year ban on the hall of fame for almost freezing to death in 1989 after waiting in line all night for hall of fame game tickets, I have been back almost every year since.

Even though they only display a small fraction of the material they have available to them and do not do a good job of rotating displays, I still find it a nice escape and they do consistantly have large areas of pre war items displayed.

Seeing in person items such as Babe Ruth's Locker or the cornerstone to Ebbet's Field is what I believe helps one connect to baseball's rich history.

The town is geared strictly for tourists and items are priced as such.
