You may think--why would we want to see the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum. I couldn't have given you an answer before--except that we are in Boston Red Sox country. Now that we have had the wonderful experience I know why. It was so full of history and also of wonderful memories of summer baseball in our neighborhoods, at the school ball fields, and around the TV when we were young. It began long before there was instant replays, color televisions, or big screens. It was in the grandstand where the people in the neighborhood gathered to visit with each other and cheer on the ball players even when they didn't know them.
We visited the areas where the great legendary baseball announcers were recognized, entered the locker rooms where some of the original uniforms were on display. We enjoyed the lives and legends of Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron among other great ball players. We saw the Hall of Fame gallery where ball players beginning in the 1930s were recognized for their contribution to the game.
For both of us the short movie we watched truly reminded us of how much fun a good baseball game could be and we both sang loud and proud
"Take Me Out To The Ballgame" at the end of the movie. If you come this way be sure to add the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum in Cooperstown, NY to your bucket list. You won't be disappointed!
