The Cooperstown story of baseball may be sketchy, but it's beautiful. Then he invented the infield fly rule. Maybe baseball really was first played in Hoboken as in the latest theory, but let's face it, Hoboken, for all its charms and Sinatra connections and refurbished apartments, would be a lousy place for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Baseball is about myth and lore and fairy tales, about ghosts coming out of the cornfield and Babe Ruth calling his home run and fathers playing catch with sons. In other words, Cooperstown may not be where baseball was actually invented, but it's exactly where baseball should have been invented.
Small things Skip the movie.
People build their entire days around the movie. Some years ago, a group of us went to Disneyland and waited two hours in 108-degree weather to go on some frog ride. No, the Baseball Hall of Fame isn't all that interactive. It's really not about videos and little games and talking statues. It's about small things.
