Who is going to Cooperstown?

[Bigdaddy]

I'll be in Cooperstown - but a week early. Up that way for work and will be stopping by on Friday the 20th with my son.

Any good recommendations for eats? We'll basically have a day in Cooperstown (Friday) and will have to head out that evening. Also, is there any reason to spend time in some of the shops instead of all day in the Hall?

The last time I was in Cooperstown was with my dad, summer of 1988, not long after Willie Stargell was enshrined.

Thanks to the recommendations from this thread, I've changed my itinerary around for the weekend.

Friday: Cooperstown. Hope to see some of you when we stop by the show.

Saturday: All day on the lake (staying at my cousins' lake house on Skaneatles).

Sunday: Induction Ceremony then get the hell out of town.

Just got back from a trip to Cooperstown on Friday and Yankee Stadium on Saturday for the Yanks-Mets game. Both were fantastic.

Thought I'd pass along this photo from the museum - a little eye candy.

Will be rolling into town early Friday morning. Can't wait. The highlight of the year. This will be my 19th HOF Induction Weekend (1987-1998, 2007, 2008, 2014 to present).

You question Sid Bream being at a "Legends of Baseball" autograph signing but NOT Jimmy Hart?? :-)

With the Braves flavor that the induction weekend has taken on the last 4-5 years, promotors have tried to cater to the throngs of Braves fans (and baseball fans in general) who come through Cooperstown over the weekend. Hence, Murphy and Bream being at signings like this. Sid's famous slide still reigns as one of the all-time great moments in Atlanta sports history.
