    Pictures from the trip to Cooperstown...

    usually post pics from my trips on the other boards but since this was a Braves Hall of Fame weekend

    i thought it was appropriate here, if not Sav, move to where it needs to go

    anyway, Stopped in Philly on the way up and NYC on the way back:

























    Rodrigo y Gabriela were playing in Philly so we went and saw them after being at the Phillies game:




















    Cooperstown:







    The Parade of Hall of Famers:











































































    New York City:




































    Was an amazing trip

    Did you eat at Cooperstown Diner goldy? I went and it was awesome. I'm still trying to get my photos up so I'll probably post them at some point. Mine is less baseball focused though and more brewery/winery focused.

    CBP is such a great ballpark.
    And good on you for choosing Pat's vs. Geno's, but Jim's on South Street is the best in my book.

    Still mind boggling that I was just a few hundred feet away from baseball royalty. It was the largest living class of alumni assembled in addition to the largest living class inducted since the original class.

    Still get goosebumps thinking about walking in the rotunda with all the plaques and reading all the names of baseball heroes and legends.

    Also, goldie's picture of the fans in attendance does not do justice to just exactly how many fans were there, especially Braves Country.

    Here are mine. Not as good of a cameraman as goldie, and he actually has a real camera, I was just using my smartphone.

    CBP is one of my favorites in baseball (been to 20 of the 30)

    Next time i am in Philly, I will have to go to Jim's

    i went to Pats and Genos. Pats was better imo

    Good thing I didn't go, I would either be in jail for vandalizing that Yankee car and/or heckling Glavine.

    I'm gonna start it here shortly. Might as well keep it all in this thread. I've got my cooperstown brewing pictures up so they'll be on their way. Rest are going up tonight. Should be able to get them all up by sunday.

    Pats, Geno's, Jim's are all crud. John's Roast pork and Tony Luke's are way bigger for big things. And my favorite is a little joint in the Italian Market, Lorenzo's Pizza. They actually have the best pizza fries. Biggest advantage to Pat's and Geno's is they're open 24 hours so when you're blitzed at 2 AM lol.

    The local Otsega Gin that I tried in one of the bars was decent.
