Cooperstown, NY Hall of Fame trip

May 3rd - 6th, 2001

Richard, Pat Jennings, Randy, and Mike Parker traveled to Cooperstown, NY to visit the baseball Hall of Fame.  In addition to showing important baseball artifacts, the HOF also had a series on important ballparks, evolution of baseball equipment (gloves, bats, baseball, uniforms, etc), the Negro leagues, Women's baseball leagues during WWII, and special exibits on Babe Ruth & Willie Mays.  It was an great experience that brought back many baseball memories.   If you haven't been to Cooperstown, I would highly recommend it.  We also attended the Giants vs. Phillies game Saturday night.  Us ALers were enlightenened on the strategy that occurs in NL games :)   46 games of Strat-o-Matic were played between the 4 managers on the trip.
