It's worth visiting and there are frequent events here. I'll never forget going to a Hall of Fame game and having Sparky Anderson pat me on the shoulder on the way in. It's also a great chance to wander around Cooperstown and do some stargazing. I saw Pete Rose talking to someone in an open air restaurant, probably making his... More

This time they had some teams from the area which was still quite a game. One year we went and we met Nolan Ryan who happened to be playing with WestJet. Great to see they are always using the field!

If you happen to be lucky enough to be in Cooperstown when there is a game, I highly recommend a visit to the park. We were lucky enough to go to the Hall of Fame game last year. It was just great seeing those alumni, though several years older, doing what they did best. The stadium is old style and... More

Smaller than I thought but cool. It was nice to see where so much baseball history happened. I had never heard of this before I went.

Its fun to stop, sit and watch random teams play like they did in Field of Dreams. Some of the history here is debated but everytime Im there I wish I had a glove, a ball and a few friends

This past Friday, I was lucky to be sitting at the ballfield watching the Yankees and the Pirates duke it out in the first of a double-header. The game went into extra innings, and unfortunately the Yankee's lost - but hey...any day spent at the ballpark is better than spending it in the office. And when you can sit right... More

Was a fun place to watch an old-timers ball game - the fact that Babe Ruth played there gave us the chills.

This was such a nice park. Filled with history. Games being played continually through out the day. What a thrill it was to sit in the stands and think about all that had happened. A dream visit for any baseball lover, young or old!

We had the opportunity to get into this place twice, the first time it was during induction weekend and the second was when a group of Old Timers squared off, just looking out at the field and imagining who and when some of baseballs greatest walked across it gives you goosebumps.
