On Friday we went to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. It was neat seeing all of the plaques and memorabilia of the players we have read about and seen play many times in Pittsburgh. Even though we're not really fans they already had the signed batting helmets for Barry Bonds record tying and record breaking home runs. In the area were they had the lists of record holders they update the lists daily. We also went to Doubleday Field where the game of baseball supposedly began. Cooperstown is filled with numerous shops selling baseball memorabilia. Despite the Hall of Fame and the commercialism, Cooperstown is a beautiful old town with many architecturally interesting homes. We also visited Otsego Lake which is the source of the Susquehanna River that runs over 400 miles and empties into Chesapeake Bay at Havre de Grace, Maryland. Interestingly, one of this years' Hall inductees, Cal Ripken, was born in Havre de Grace.
