Wednesday: Baseball and Burgers

The title basically sums up the entire blog: burgers, and then baseball. We got to Cooperstown about 10:30, and bummed around a little bit in the village (that is definitely not a downtown, as a resident pointedly told my father), then ate at the small (and I mean it) Cooperstown Diner (thanks for the recommendation Johnsons!). We all had their jumbo burgers, which are massive beef patties on a bun, for all practical purposes. After that, we headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum and I let myself basically drown in the legends there. It was really enjoyable to see all these artifacts from the history of my favorite sport. I enjoyed one room in particular that housed all the record-breaking artifacts and information on the record-holders as well. And seeing all the Twins players housed in the Hall of Fame was really cool too (Steve Carlson, Bert Blyleven, Paul Molitor, Kirby Puckett, Dave Winfield... did I forget anyone?). I purchased a retro Pirates cap and a t-shirt with the old A's logo with the elephant, while Dad got a Brooklyn Dodgers hat.

In reality, nothing else much happened... We walked back to the van in the sweltering afternoon heat, and I slept most of the drive back to Binghamton. Me, Molly and Dad all went and swam for a while in the pool with a frisbee. We got some fried rice at a local Chinese place and snacked for a late dinner. Tomorrow we head out early for Pittsburgh and then to the Pirates-Twins game late in the evening.

New Hat :3

It's a very very small diner.

That's a lot of beef.
