I have totally underestimated the incredible experience this has been. Cooperstown is a very patriotic place in addition to a baseball paradise. Cooperstown dreams park Itself is full of boys, the future of our country, all hoping to bring home a win. The historical nature of Cooperstown the city and the surrounding towns and villages is also a tribute to Americana at its finest. For those of you who have not been here, there are mom and pop ice cream shops, antique shops dotted throughout the rolling hills and farms. Lakes and state parks are plentiful and people here are friendly.
Now, about the kid and his team. I will admit that I am not a stats person. If you want more info on stuff like that I will enlist the feedback of some others to get it right!! Here is what I do know. All teams are guaranteed to play six games during this week, then they start the tournament part of the week with seeding and single elimination play. Our team is doing well -- having a bye for the first two Wednesday games. They are ranked 19 after the six pool play games.
Shopping in Cooperstown. This is the mom's perspective after all so I have to include that there are some very nice shops here selling every kind of baseball mom type of gear you can think of. So far, my personal favorites here in town are Silver Fox Gift Shop ladies jewelry and clothing, Cooperstown Penguin ice cream- huge delicious soft serve cones here absolutely rock! And trust me, I know my frozen treats! Back alley grille- great two story restaurant with outside seating on two levels with great wraps, burgers, steaks and cocktails. If you are a beer fan, check out the Ommegang Brewery. You may want to arrange for a ride home ahead of time as the beer is delish and we spent several hours sampling flights paired with snacks. I may have more to add since we are not done eating here yet!
