COOPERSTOWN, NY - TOUR STOP

August 13-15, 2006

The Baseball Youth Road Trip has been at the Cooperstown All-Star Village for only two days, and we already feel like a part of the family here. Nestled in the heart of baseball country, this place has everything players could ever dream.

You could almost sense the ghosts of past who played the game on the same piece of land or one close to it. The entire village was carved into a piece of land with rolling hills all around, and that scenery provides a unique feel. You almost have to experience it to truly understand the beauty.

The players, parents and umpires stay at the village throughout the week, and there’s plenty to keep the kids occupied. The Baseball Youth zone certainly gave the kids something to do when they were not on one of the fields playing a game. We gave out tons of free prizes to the hundreds of kids wanting to play the Baseball Card Challenge.

Our zone was always busy with kids trying to play game after game. Everyone there probably would have stayed till the sun went down, and then they would have asked us to put up lights. It was crazy!

Being a part of something that has become a great tradition in just a short time was awesome. I think we can put Cooperstown down as a place we will visit next year. It will almost be like a family reunion.
