I had a blast last week, watching my son play at and roam the halls of Cooperstown. (my daughter roamed too!) For an old baseball guy like myself, to get to see the Hall of Fame, to watch (and chronicle) literally dozens of ballgames in one week was a true vacation!

My son's team did not fare well, 1-6 for the week, but there were some good highlights. The fields were immaculate, green enclosed walls all around, the only real photo down side was having to shoot the hitters through chain link all week. Lots of post processing.

Here's a quick pass at the week:

1: Kids checked into Cooperstown Dreams Park on the weekend

2: They stayed with their team in the barracks, 102 teams altogether

4: As they parachute in the first pitch and park flag.

5: Rain does not dampen teh spirits of the Great Lakes Lightning, my son's team.

    Great shots! I like the one of Monster with his hat dropping. Willie Mays use to deliberately wear his hat a size too large so that it would fly off like that when he chased after a fly ball. That picture also has his eyes locked right on the ball. Love it!
