Despite a nearly four-month postponement, the Major League Baseball season in the United States finally got underway last month. While fans might not be allowed in the stands at baseball games for now, there’s one place where fans of the game can attend even in 2020: the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York.
Inaugurated in 1936 in a small town of under 2,000 people in upstate New York, around four hours from both NYC and Boston, there is no greater place on Earth to explore the history of America’s national pastime than this museum.
Featuring memorabilia from the history of the league, dating back to the late 19th century and extending to the present day, you’ll see all kinds of interesting baseball artifacts at the Hall of Fame. From Hank Aaron’s 715th home run uniform to the glove used to make “The Catch” by Giants outfielder Willie Mays, the number of historical baseball things you’ll find here is unprecedented.
Add the world-famous collection of Hall of Fame plaques representing the greatest names in baseball history, used to honor all of the inductees to the Hall, any lover of this sport or anyone with a passing interest in sports as a whole will find a trip to Cooperstown to be totally worthwhile.
Address: 25 Main St, Cooperstown, NY 13326
Hours: 9 am to 5 pm, Monday-Sunday
