The first and last class of inductees

From the first class in 1936 ( Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Walter Johnson and Honus Wagner

To the newest inductees, Cal Ripkin and Tony Gwynn, the place was filled with great memories and wonderful sports/baseball figures for us. This is a "must" visit place.

Hall of Fame baseball paintings

Cooperstown Sights

Doubleday Field, just adjacent to the Hall of Fame were baseball was conceived by Abner Doubleday - a career ( MG/USA) military man.

One of the many store fronts with just tons of baseball photos and gear.

Everythings about this town is baseball, including their baseball planters or trash cans. As the season was winding down for the tourists, Jan insisted that I pose behind these two items. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Baseball Hall of Fame

The baseball Hall of Fame is a must see museum to the baseball greats. They also offer free admission to both active duty and retired military personnel. Nice touch. It was one block away from the Cooperstown cafe and the walk to the museum was by store fronts that were loaded with baseball collectables.

Cooperstown & the Baseball Hall of Fame

From western Mass we went into NY, set up at the Beaver Valley Campground and visited Cooperstown - a drinking town with a baseball problem ( according to the Cooperstown Cafe servers shirts ). We had a dinner and breakfast here and really enjoyed just walking around this memorable town.

On the NY/MA border we went over a mountain and found this statue erected by the Brotherhood of Elk to honor their members who served in the various world wars.

The Elk statue was on the Whitcomb Summit and so we had to stop and get a picture of one of the Whitcomb clan members. The above elk statue can barely be seen just over Jan's left shoulder.

Leaving NH we traveled through western Mass - farm contry with lots of picturesque scenes

and quiet, winding roads along clear running streams
