Cooperstown

We started out Thursday morning at 6 am.
A very crazy and stupid thing to do. It was foggy and raining and we, being very stupid, thought that we could out run the rain and thunder storms.

We spent 11 and 1/2 hours in the car traveling to NY in that crazy storm that covered the US.  And not just light rain there were downpours at times. White knuckle driving (ok I was scared just riding too) Mike drove most of the way. It was loud, very loud, and scary and dark and very stupid. Worst travel day ever!
Only one bright spot - I found "The Masters" on Sirius radio.
Then we spent the day on Friday visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame. Almost forgot about the stupid move on Thursday., almost.
Upstate NY still has some snow, especially in the mountains, but the weather was nice and there was very few people at the museum.
I thought it was my imagination, but Mike agreed, there was so much Chicago stuff, especially White Sox.

 They had a cool room where they had photos and art work displayed. This one caught my eye  - from 1964 - for 2 reasons. No women in this picture and can you imagine this happening today. Fights would break out and people would be killed.

 The Man!!!! The greatest White Sox player of all time.

 I know it's hard to see, but underneath all the players that served in the military had plaques from their branch of service. Most of them served in WWII. Bill Veeck was a Marine.

 Another Chicago connection in the broadcast section.

 They had a real cool room where they displayed music and movies about baseball.
I had to take this picture for Dup. How many movies were made about baseball, including made for TV?

Answer: 186
Cooperstown is in a small town and not too easy to get to, but so worth the trip. It was my favorite "Hall of Fame" of all we have visited, so far.
