| Jim and Barbara's Trip into New York and Pennsylvania Day 12 September 18 |
| On Day twelve we had left North
Tonawanda, New York and headed for Cooperstown New York and the Baseball
Hall of Fame and Museum. It was an extremely scenic drive. We
were on the south side of the Adirondacks and we drove north of the three
finger's lakes. As a national meteorologist, the three fingers lakes
were a satellite signature that always were evident on New York satellite
photographs. When we go back to that area we want to spend some time
visiting the Adirondacks and the Three Fingers Lakes. After leaving the New
York Thruway we went south on State Road 28 and in a line of traffic that
included a New York Highway patrolman and two large semis carrying rock.
Needless to say we took more than 28 minutes to make the 28 miles.
When we got to Cooperstown, we discovered that on a Monday after tourist
season is over, the trolley does not run and there is limited parking in
Cooperstown. Every two hours, you have to move your vehicle. But
other than that it was quite a treat. After the Hall of Fame we departed
Cooperstown and drove to Binghamton, New York where we spent the night.
Join us for some of the excellent sights we saw at the Hall of Fame.

| Each team had a display with the most prominent player or event featured. For the Boston Red Sox there was an exhibit of the 77 balls with a batting average on each ball. Ted Williams was featured and he believed that the corresponding number on each ball would be his average if he hit the pitched ball in that location.

| I feel really bad that my picture of George Brett's Hall of Fame plaque did not come out well. When I go back someday I will correct that. As you have probably guessed photographing these plaques indoors is quite tricky and I am still learning. Click on the image to see a larger view. |
