I rarely shoot video of him hitting or pitching. But something told me to break out the camera and film his first AB. I accidentally did it in slow mo (while switching back and forth from doing GameChanger) and sure enough, he hits his first real home run. (5/7)

Two more comments from visitors this week:
"I waited 80 years for this visit and it was worth every minute I got to spend here!"
"The Baseball HOF and Cooperstown are my Disney World. Keep doing what you're doing, because it's a great tribute to the greatest game ever."
Welcome to the 40/40 club, PCA!

Dated Sept. 21, 2001 – the night of the first game held in New York after 9/11 – this letter from Commissioner Bud Selig was sent to MLB employees and members of major league front offices as the baseball season resumed.
Thank you @HOFprez@baseballhall and Rick Monday for extending the exhibit. 🇺🇸 Such an incredible piece with a rich history. It made an impact on me and my family.

Longtime Cincinnati Reds executive/legend Rob Butcher and his wife, Dana (my former MLB.com colleague) rented Doubleday Field for a family reunion game.
So fun having them here in Cooperstown for the weekend after they dedicated their lives to the game.
4+1. On this day in 2006, the Dodgers hit four consecutive home runs in the ninth inning, followed by a walk-off home run for a comeback win against the Padres.

Thirty years ago tonight, Hideo Nomo did what they said could not be done. Not in the Mile High City. No at Coors Field in Denver. He not only shut out the Rockies, he pitched a no-hitter.
And thank goodness they saw it in Japan.

Eric Young’s LA squad beat Matt Williams’ SF crew in Game 1.
Hard to pick a team to root for, as both were part of the coaching staff when I got to Arizona and are great guys.
Many of the players have visited us in Coop.
Hoping for a five-game series that ends in a thriller!
