Cooperstown cont'd...

I forgot to add these pictures in my prior post. When visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame, there are an array of artifacts that one must check out. I heard from my friend that the Barry Bonds ball with the asterisk was in the hall, however I was unable to locate it.

There are so many different things I always make sure I check out when visiting Cooperstown. The dedication to Babe Ruth is a must along with the tribute to Jackie Robinson. In addition, I enjoy seeing the lockers that are displayed as part of the "current day players" exhibit. Last but not least, one of my favorite places to check out in the hall is the collection of balls that they have displayed which signify each perfect game or no-hitter that has been pitched by a Major League player. Well look who it is! Alois!

Brownie, Coney, and AJ!

I am heading to Syracuse tomorrow to check out the AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees play against the AAA Nationals. I used to love going to Syracuse to check out the AAA Skychiefs when they were part of the Blue Jays organization. I am bummed that they are no longer there. It is cool to see guys in the major leagues on the Jays that I used to see in the minor leagues. Anyhow, I am sure there will be many pictures along with some analysis of the game. I will be sure to have my scorebook on hand and take notes from what I see going on in the field. I am hoping to see Melancon and Jackson in action.
