Our first look at the Baseball central

The following is an original song, being a parody on "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"

"Take me out to Cooperstown, home of the Hall of Fame. For it's fun, true, and totally cool at the Cooperstown!"

Cooperstown. If your a baseball fan (or even just a fan of sports) you might know that Cooperstown is the town where the Baseball Hall of Fame is kept. Now you might think Cooperstown was picked to be the hall of fame location because maybe it was the home to the first baseball stadium, or maybe Babe Ruth's birthplace. Well, you thought that, than you'd be wrong. Cooperstown was picked mostly because an entrepreneur wanted tourists to come to Cooperstown. This certain entrepreneur had opened a hotel, and so he thought a baseball hall of fame would bring in money for him. I don't exactly how he accomplished this, but it worked. The Baseball Hall of Fame was established in Cooperstown, NY, and brought many, many tourists. As many as our fish in the sea (well maybe not that much).

Anyway, also at this town, is the Dreams Park, a little league park that has a competition every year. The competitors usually range from 12-13, and they arrive from all over the country. It just so happened that two teams from Georgia, the Sandy Plains Wildcats and the Roswell Rockets, contained people we knew in them. at my church. For the Wildcats, a friend of Dad's named Shayne has a son it it. The son's name is Forest. Shayne is also one of the coaches for this team. The Wildcats are a very good team.

The Dream Park's competition this year had 104 teams signing up, and 103 teams would go home sad.

How does Dad know Shayne? Shayne works in an Metro Atlanta Auto Dealer Association, training people in the sales, mechanical, and fiance departments in the auto business. I was 7 at a car show when, much to my surprise, a robot on a stage said, "Hey Andrew, I'm your long lost brother, Bob Bourne! I know your sisters Julie, Lauren and Rebecca!" It then went on to talk about Mom and Dad, and all of my family members. I, seven, wondered how this strange robot knew all this about me, and if he really was my brother.

2 years later, at a Chinese restaurant in Woodstock, I ask Dad what had happened. He explained that a man named Shayne had operated it, placing a speaker into the machine and speaking into it. I went,"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Flash Forward to Present. We drive the R.V. to Cooperstown Family Campground, a nice old fashioned R.V. Park. We meet friends there, play a little, and then try to see the Wildcats play in the tournament. We missed it. The next day we see them play though; don't worry.

For now, goodbye.

Looking at stone heads,

Andrew.
