| We parked next to this infamous ballfield named after Abner Doubleday who many say started baseball but records indicate otherwise. Abner Doubleday was a Civil War hero and did hail from the Cooperstown area .
As you walk down Main Street, you find yourself standing in front of several stores with names that ring of days gone by.
 
These two stores contained so much baseball "stuff" and were side by side. One had exactly the same as the other. But cool nonetheless.
As you enter the museum, you pay and start the tour on the second floor. Every nook and corner has a display of both present and days gone by.
       
After walking around the second floor for what seemed forever, we went up to the third floor and started another journey down Major League Baseball as it has evolved thru today. Many of the exhibits are changed yearly and some had been displayed for years. In addition to Modern Major League Baseball, there was an area set up displaying women in baseball during WWII and the early Korean War.
     
And of course, where would we be without the antics and costumes of the team mascots.

And who doesn't remember the Pine Tar incident and George Brett.
Of course, the most World Series won have been by the New York Yankees.
After the third floor, you head down to the first floor and the Hall of Fame Gallery where you find bronze plaques of every player inducted each year since 1936.
JD, here are your heros.
After about three hours of walking around this beautiful old building, it was time to leave.
