2014 Hall of Fame Trip

[wildjimmy]

We arrived in Cooperstown this morning. It was crazy, got to meet a lot of Hall of Famers and other baseball notables, saw the award ceremony for broadcasters and writers and heading to the induction ceremony tomorrow. Here are a few of the highlights, will try to post more later.

I made it to a couple induction ceremonies and have been planning on when to go back... I'd be interested to see some pics (or a description) of the crowd/town if you have any. Looks like fun so far!

Great photos....I heard that they are expecting close to 100,000 people there this weekend.

Thanks for sharing those pictures! More than half of those guys got me into collecting cards and then into this wonderful hobby.

Unfortunately all of the guys are under contract from one of the stores downtown. The cheapest auto was Gaylord Perry and I think Rickey and Reggie were over 100. I got Ozzie on a HOF ball for 45. Some of the players asked for a small donation for a pic and others I bumped into on the street.
Emann- it was pretty crowded walking down Main Street. John smoltz had the longest line. I posted one pic at the end of this group for you. The parade started at 6 and both sides of the street were at least 5 people deep and jammed down by the end of the route in front of the hall. Today is going to be nuts, we put out a blanket and chairs last night, hoping they are still there today.
A few more pics...

John Rocker ( you could buy a 5 dollar raffle ticket, if you won, 10 of your friends got to go out drinking with John, I was tempted )
