    *UPDATED FIRST POST* ChopCountry Cooperstown Plans for July 27th, 2014.

    Update 6/23/'14.

    I need to know who still plans on attending. Plan is to have dinner in Cooperstown or Albany on the Saturday before the Sunday ceremonies. The sooner I can get a head count, the sooner I can call a restaurant and reserve some tables for us.

    So far we have:

    SAV
    GlavineBraves47 + 1 Guest
    Knucksie


    -----



    Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 2m

    Braves fans will own Otsego County next July.

    ----
    Another user (GlavineBraves47) and I have decided to make the trip to Cooperstown this year. He's in Boston and I'll meet him there and we'll make the pilgrimage from there.

    Is anyone else potentially making plans to go up to see Glav, Maddux, and Cox get inducted?

    Perhaps if enough of us from here go, we can get a little cheer section and I can get us some t-shirts.

    ---

    CURRENT TALLY OF PRELIMINARY PILGRIMS:

    8 most definitely
    7 maybe probably

    Not everyday one of your favorite managers and two of your favorite pitchers/players get inducted in the same year.

    We may not have this happen for another 20 years when Heyward, Simmons, and Fredi get elected together.

    I think it will be a special year in more ways than one for Braves fans.

    I'll be heading up with my family sometime this year. I want to see the plaques so if they go early I may make a special trip. It's a long one, 5 hours from where I am now. So I don't think I could pull it as a day trip. 10 hours of driving is a little much.

    Also damn son, driving to boston to go to cooperstown? Are you staying over in Boston?

    That's better then. I thought you were driving up there and that wouldn't make sense at all. Cause you'd be adding like 6 hours unnecessarily. Maybe more.

    I'm pumped to go to Cooperstown, really excited to see what Ommegang did for with the new set up.

    Thats a long way off. I wanted to go for Smoltz and Chipper and I dont want to make the trip 3 times. Should my finances improve by July I might go. Would be a lot easier for me to carpool with a few other people if Biggio made it.

    induction weekend is amazing time to be there

    was at Dennis Eckersley and Paul Molitor's induction weekend (just happened to work out while on a baseball road trip)

    a bunch of baseball nerds that love the game, town is full of them. remember being at a bar watching sunday night baseball and everyone just enjoying the game on and talking baseball stories

    can't wait for that to happen and it be full of Braves fans

    How can I get in? How can I get tickets to the event, are they expensive?

    Man it would be a treat to see my favorite pitcher ever Maddux get inducted, along with an all te great brave in tommy, and in my opinion the best manager ever in bobby. Just be fantastic along with seeing the HOF.

    It would be nice to reminisce with a bunch of Braves fans, as well as hearing Maddog telling stories.

    I think the ceremony is free since it's on an open field, but tickets to the museum, not sure how much it costs.

    Museum is normally 20 bucks for a person, but they have discounts if you're a member of AAA, Active or retired military, member of a veterans organization, or a senior.

    HOF Admission info:

    http://baseballhall.org/plan-your-vi...-amp-admission

    I'm planning to make the trip up from south GA if I can get the week off from work. I've never been to the Hall, so this is the perfect time to go. In addition to the induction ceremony, it looks like I'll need about 3 days to see everything inside. An opportunity like this may not come for another 20 years, if ever.

    There's a lot in the museum, but a long day there should be able to cover it. When I went with my dad and brothers. We spent I think about 5 hours inside and saw pretty much everything. Back then they had an Aaron exhibit, and I spent probably an hour and ahalf just looking and reading everything.
