I’ve had several opportunities to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and I’ve enjoyed every one of them. Three of those visits brought me to the Hall’s Giamatti Research Center/library to gather material for a couple of biographies – one on Willie Stargell and the most recent one on Arky Vaughan. If you haven’t visited, it’s definitely worth the drive. Beyond the research center/library, there certainly is enough to satisfy just about any baseball fan, and the drive alone – and the village itself – will generate memories you’ll never forget.
That being said, I’m not completely sold on the roster of players enshrined in Cooperstown.
