A Tradition of Utmost Importance

As the month ticks over and we start to head once more into postseason baseball, the time has come for me to get reacquainted with an old friend.

We met last summer on a hot afternoon in Cooperstown, NY. My wife’s family owns a house just outside of the village, and every year we spend a week up there. Thanks to that, I was able to make the timing work out so I could be there for a very special Hall of Fame weekend. This one to be exact:

Though the most instructive souvenir I would receive that day was the epic sunburn on what felt like the entire left side of my body (wear sunscreen kids), my favorites were the Bagwell Cooperstown Collection jersey and cap I purchased that day.
