Baseball Heaven

Tweet

Many times I’ve said that I heard it said that John Fogerty’s “Centerfield” plays when you enter the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York. Now I can tell you for a fact: no. At least, not anymore. That’s right. Today I made it to baseball heaven. Cooperstown, if you’ve never been there, is a tiny village-type town in central New York. The Main Street looks like any small town Main Street in a hundred other places. Except for that one building. And, honestly, from the outside, it’s not all that impressive. Step inside, however, and the history of the great game of baseball awaits you. From the “myth” of Abner Doubleday “inventing” baseball in Cooperstown (long since proven false) to the 2018 World Series (things such as Ichiro’s retirement and Scooter Gennett’s four-home run game aren’t updated), it’s all baseball. And it is all good. I finally made it to Cooperstown.
