Parents are encouraged to attend as well. Published children's authors Cari Best, Richard Brenner and Matt Tavares will be featured guests. Brenner will highlight four of his books, Derek Jeter , Mark McGwire , Sammy Sosa and Baseball Superstars Album . Tavares will discuss Zachary's Ball , the story of a boy whose life is changed by a very special baseball. Each author will conduct a workshop and sign copies of their books, which are all available in the Museum's Book Store.
All events are free to museum visitors.
Members of Friends of the Hall of Fame always receive free admission to the Museum. In addition to the workshops, other activities planned include face painting, Peanuts videos, games, prizes and much more. There will also be visits from the Hall of Fame's Mighty Casey, the Albany Diamond Dogs' Heritage Hound, and the Oneonta Tiger. The lucky boy or girl whose guess is the closest to the total, will take home all of the cards. Capping the day's activities will be a concert by children's folk singer Skip West.
