Making the pilgrimage

On Thursday, we made it to the capital of all things baseball.  That's right, we went to Cooperstown to see the Baseball Hall of Fame (and museum).  The town is adorable, and there are lots of cars from all over the country, many with "Cooperstown or Bust!" emblazoned all over them.  It's all very cute.

Basically, the only thing we did here was go to the Hall of Fame/Museum and walk around town a bit, so there's not a whole lot to tell.  It's nicely set up and there was plenty to see (it took us almost six hours to make the rounds), but apparently there are about 40,000 more objects in storage!  Here are some highlights...

Hmm, again with the photo volunteer who has centering issues.  Just imagine the sign says "museum" not "muse."

I'm not sure if you can tell where Dustin's allegiance lies...
Any guesses?
I read everything.  I'm very diligent that way.
I'm still having a hard time figuring out which team Dustin's most interested in...
Ok, we took literally hundreds of pictures, and to be fair, most of them don't actually feature the Cubs... but there were so many that did that I couldn't resist. :-)
The infamous Barry Bonds asterisk ball.
Ron Santo will be inducted in a few weeks.
The actual hall of fame!
