Well, my summer of baseball fun is almost over. My wife and I got back about a week ago from Boston and Cooperstown. You will be happy to know that Juan is in the Hall of Fame twice. He has two bats on display. One is in a display for Latin American players and another in the small display for the Texas Rangers. I have attached pics.
Overall the Hall and the village of Cooperstown are both fantastic!! If you haven't been I would absolutely suggest that you go. Cooperstown sits on the tip of Lake Ostego and it is just quaint and gorgeous. The main street is lined with Baseball card shops that have a ton of memorabilia and old stuff. The only bad thing is that it is really slanted towards the Yankees, Mets and Red Sox.
Then we went to Fenway and saw the Red Sox play the Tigers. The experience of Fenway is incredible, but the place overall is a dump. All in all though it was very cool. The fans are insanely passionate about their team and I have never heard anything like the crowd singing Sweet Caroline in the bottom of the 8th inning. All I can say about that is "Wow."
Check out the pics.
