We couldn’t spend another summer weekend without experiencing baseball up close and personal so we made a road trip up to Cooperstown to spend a few hours touring the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ It was well worth the trip ⚾️

Last year when I presented a #RiveraAvenue sign to our friends at The Dugout across from Yankee Stadium, Mariano Rivera superfan Nicole Saulter suggested we bring the sign up to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ . Although not yet a part of the permanent collection, we did just that.

The postponement of the 2020 National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ induction ceremonies in July denied us the opportunity to see Derek Jeter’s bronze plaque in the famed HOF Plaque Gallery. But that didn’t stop us from bringing our own challenge coin to commemorate the occasion New York Yankees #RE2PECT

It wouldn’t be a National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ without some legendary mascots like the San Diego Chicken and the Philly Phanatic. Just wondering when Mr. Met gets an invite to Cooperstown.

It was good to see that our friend Charles Fazzino has two items on display in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ - even if one is about the Red Sox We missed spending time with Charles and his team (Julie, Carol and Jamie) at the All-Star Game

As MLB celebrates #NegroLeagues100 centennial today, we share these special images from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ of legendary icons Satchel Paige, Monte Irvin, Roy Campanella and Buck O’Neil

Why we made the three hour and forty five minute drive up to Cooperstown to visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾: New York Yankees and Mariano Rivera #unaniMOus

Anyone who ever passionately collected baseball cards as a kid has a horror story to share #TheCardsYourMotherThrewAway ⁦National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾⁩

The only way the Moe Berg would get into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ based on his career stats as a catcher would have been to buy a ticket. But his meritorious service w/ US intelligence during WW II earned him a Medal of Freedom & a special display in Cooperstown #TheCatcherWasASpy

He may never be enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ but the presence of Pete Rose is certainly felt and visible in the hallowed halls of Cooperstown.

Wait a second: I thought Roy Hobbs shattered his “Wonderboy” bat hitting a long foul ball in the bottom of the ninth in the one game playoff between the NY Knights and Pittsburgh Pirates? ⁦National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾⁩ #TheNatural

The panoramic and picturesque view of Lake Otesaga from the terrace of the historic ⁦Otesaga Resort Hotel⁩ of Cooperstown - where we were treated like HOFers. No wonder that’s where they stay during ⁦National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾⁩ induction weekend.

A Boston Police Dept. department spokesperson said the unidentified man appeared "emotionally disturbed" which of course pretty much describes most Red Sox fans. Only kidding. bostonglobe.com/2020/09/20/spo… via The Boston Globe

I hope COACH PRIME makes this kind of entrance at every Jackson State game.

Healthy and happy 93rd birthday 🎂 wishes to Tommy Lasorda Legacy. Last year we got to celebrate 92 with him in person thanks to @UnionChasersCEO in Citi Field where he told Ben not to slouch and he could shake his hand firmer because it wasn’t going to fall off. Love the guy!

Great story in @MarlyRiveraESPN piece courtesy of New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman, who tells her when NY clinched 2018 playoffs he brought his analytics team who pushed 4 Luke Voit trade 2 locker room celebration 2 meet Voit. “Luke was very appreciative. It was a cool genuine moment.”

“If you can see it, you can be it.” NFL official Sarah Thomas’ daughter Bailey - who dressed as mom for Halloween - told Sarah this wk, “because of you, I won’t have to tuck my hair to blend in. I can be me - a girl.” Think about how many girls’ dreams were born on Sunday♥️

The NHL Playoffs always entertains as the best postseason in pro sports. Despite COVID-19, this year was no different - but disappointed no one at the NHL thought to pipe in the traditional shower of boos that greet Commissioner Gary Bettman before he presents the #StanleyCup
