* The ultimate baseball library

October 21, 2008

A lot of fans proably forget that the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown is also a library.

I spent a great week up there several years ago, doing research for a book about baseball during the Korean War years. the staff couldn’t have been nicer, and the access of walking around like I belonged was also cool. I stayed at a couple of bed and breakfasts a few blocks away, so I was able to “walk to work” in the morning, feeling more like a townie than a tourist.

I don’t know what, if anything, has changed since then, but for anyone who thinks they have an impressive collection of baseball titles, they will be humbled by a visit.
