On the morning of the 19th, we drove in the jeep to Dreams Park, where the Wildcats would be playing at 8:30. We came and sat in the watcher's section, and said hello to Shayne. He welcomed us, and we said hello to Tanya (Shayne's wife) and Amelia (Shayne's daughter). They were very nice. Mom bought an egg and cheese sandwich, which I ate while watching the game.
Dreams Park had many, many fields, and many, many teams. The Wildcats were competing against a team from Hawaii, who they later smoked (11-2). I got some pretty good shots with my video camera, of pitching and batting, running and stealing, home running and outing, the whole package.
When the game ended, the Wildcats took a picture on the stone welcome sign that said,"Welcome to Dreams Park" Everyone took a picture.
We had time before the Wildcats next game at 1:00, so we decided to go to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The Baseball Hall of Fame was very fun. It consisted of a theater, a museum, and of course, the hall of fame. We at first saw a small theater presentation, which talked about how important baseball was to America, and then we went into a museum. It talked about old versions of Baseball, the first team, the first baseball stadium, Baseball's greatest players, Babe Ruth, the different teams, the mascots, the fans, the souvenirs, a lot of different players, the lockers of the different teams, and many other things. It was a nice museum.
Then came the actually heads. We turned left, and saw a big hall with booths where on the corners where written many dates. Also, I saw many faces on plates, having dates upon birth and death. I saw Babe Ruth, Stan Musial, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Lou Gehrig, and many others. It was fun.
Later I saw the 1:00 game of the Wildcats against a team from Michigan, and in that game the Wildcats made a grand slam. (Got a good video of that) It was very fun.
After that, we had a very satisfying lunch with the Wilson's. We were on a sea shore, and while eating I could hear the rush of the waves against the sand.
In the dinner I had some very interesting conversations with Forrest, and also his friend(also on the team )Zach. Zach's father was actually the father of someone I knew from church. Her name was Peyton.(I had worked with her in a few skits) It was a wonderful dinner. We were right on the shore of the finger lake, and the waves were very calm and beautiful. It was pretty soothing.
The whole day was great. I really enjoyed Cooperstown. It had a nice rural twing to it.
YOU'RE OUT! NO I'M NOT! GET OUT OF HERE! WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO? SECURITY! POLICE BRUTALITY! POL... OH FORGET IT,
Andrew.
