I also watched a game a doubleday field which is a great place to watch a game. While watching I noticed one team's jersey's read "The Aparicios" (spelling might be off). Anyway, I learned it was a team put together by Luis Aparicio's son. One of the players told me you can play on the field for about $450 (Umpire included) just need to schedule months in advance. Cooperstown cafe is a must for breakfast. You'll have a blast, enjoy! |

Im surprised at the little mention of the library. Next time I go I think I want to spend some serious time in there reading the actual newspapers from the eras. Its amazing how the stories change over time and society/culture can change the story. Magical place.
