Cooperstown Day 2

Baby, it was cold outside today. This morning, I would guess the temperature was hovering the low 40's. That made it very difficult to get out of bed. We finally stumbled downstairs around 9:00 for another lovely breakfast, then it was off to the Hall for more baseball history.
It's really overwhelming how much stuff is on display - there's no way anyone cold possibly read and absorb all of that information. We took our time wandering around though. I think I most enjoyed the exhibit of old "board game" interpretations of baseball. Jared's favorite part was the hall of famer's busts themselves, especially when he noticed the small badges beneath the many inductees who served in a branch of the armed forces.

Here is the best-looking baseball card I've seen to date...an uncirculated 1915 Cracker Jack card featuring "Future Hall of Famer":We exited the Hall in the midst of a little snow flurry - a pretty scene which certainly made this cold weather worthwhile.
