Nice town. Wouldn't want to live there.
With a few possible exceptions, and I apologize to those of you who are those exceptions, Red Sox fans are the most obnoxious and rude baseball fans by far, if their Hall of Fame etiquette is any indication. Loud, rude, pushy, and kinda dumb. And if I had to hear "where's dah sawk?" one more time, I was gonna give someone a good sock.
How many baseball souvenir shops can one small town have?
Don't waste your money on the wax museum. While there's some funny things in there (like the "Pete Rose Induction" exhibit, or Steinbrenner and Constanza), they have a figure of Roger
Maris in the right hands batters box, and misspell Vin Scully as Vin Sculty on a placard. No need for that.I never knew that Cy Young wasn't his name. Cy that is. It was short for Cyclone. Annoyingly enough I can't remember his real name off the top of my head.
A League of Their Own took MANY liberties with the real AAGPBL. For instance, it was more like softball pretty much the entire period of WWII. Only near the end, in the 50s, did the rules become more like baseball.
There's something magical about watching a game at Doubleday Field, even if the "history" of Cooperstown is a bit bogus.
I highly recommend the Italian restaurant on Main Street next to the CVS.
There's a Chinese take out type place on Pioneer Street called Foo Kin John. That's hilarious.
I know many people named John who will get sent this image at times.You shouldn't take a child under 5 or 6 in to a huge musuem. It took me and my friend about 7 hours to get through it. Think about what a place like that would do to a small child. Then think about what that cranky small child does to me. Now, make it like 100 cranky small children, but still only one of me.
Did I mention lately that I hate people?
