National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
Cooperstown, NY
I've wanted to visit
Cooperstown since I was six years old. The entire city is heaven for baseball fans, and the centerpiece, of course, is the
Baseball Hall of Fame. I must have taken a million photos, and I could have taken a million more, but my digital camera isn't great, especially in low light settings. Here are some photos of the museum and some of my favorite player plaques from when they were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

This plaque is on the outside of the building. |

It started raining, so this photo was taken from a window in the museum. I didn't get to read what the plaque says, but this is a statue of former Phillies coach Johnny Podres when he pitched for the Brooklyn Dodgers. |

This is the hallway in the middle of the plaques for the players who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. |

The entrance to the section where the first inductees of the Hall of Fame are honored. |
The rest of the photos are plaques of players who have spent some or all of their career with the
Phillies, and a few others who are my favorite non-Phillies to ever play the game:
