There is a lot to see at the Hall of Fame. I spent a day slowly perusing the legends and landmarks of baseball's past, absorbing World Series stories and memorabilia, and watching "Who's On First" at least three times. After six hours, I realized I hadn't visited the archives housed in a separate library, which closed at 5 pm -- 4 hours earlier than the main museum. At least I made it to Doubleday Field.
The Hall of Fame is based in picturesque Cooperstown, NY, which is a worthy weekend destination in itself. Based right on Lake Otswego, you could sit by the water and enjoy the scenery, walk the quaint streets or enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants nearby. Definitely worth a visit if you're a major baseball fan or just looking to get away during a warm-weather weekend.
I've visited the BBHOF a few times, and each time I learn something new about baseball. They have a wonderful set up, and they're always getting new exhibits. I haven't been able to go to a Hall a Fame Game or see any professional players that have visited, but I'm hoping that sometime in the near future I'll get the opprotunity. The gift shop is great as well, but as I'm sure you'd guess, it can be a bit pricey. Be sure to visit if you're a baseball lover or in the Cooperstown area.
