Cooperstown
This thread reminds me of Cooperstown. Old-timers getting together to fondly talk about baseball. I always enjoy listening to Ted, Peter and Frank's reminisce.
My wife and I were in Cooperstown induction weekend, also. The crowds were unusually small and the weather didn't cooperate (rained like hell on Friday, hot like hell on Saturday, and more devilish showers on Sunday), but the hall-of-fame weekend was still a piece of heaven. Dawson's induction speech was inspiring. The hamburgs and hot dogs sold on the street were great. I got my picture taken with Ricky Henderson (made him laugh by saying "I can't believe I'm standing next to the fastest man alive). I bought a few Ts from Ted and Don and enjoyed our conversations. To top it off I met Brian from SGC. He was very helpful in accepting my first submission to SGC.
I also, like Bruce, ended up in Cleveland hoping to see A-Rod hit 600.
Lots of fun.
Best wishes,
Joe
