At the Hall of Fame today

[Ordos]

Last time I was here, they had a section of Baseball on the Big Screen... where they listed "Angels in the Infield."

I'll see if they have fixed it since.

[Stradling]

I've never been. One of these days I'll make it up there.

[Adam]

The drive from NYC is the best part and the village itself.

A required bucket list item.

Had a chance to go there back in 87. Was a blast. 

[NJHalo]

A must for any baseball fan.

As Adam said, the drive is fantastic.

NY state is a beautiful place that gets overlooked. Route 28 thru the Catskills is awesome in the summer.

Ask them where the Rose exhibit is.

Well now I have nothing to post.

[NJHalo]

Be sure to scope out a good spot for the Trout induction ceremony in 2031

[Dick B Back]

Ask them where the Rose exhibit is.

Its right next to the Bonds exhibit.

[Homebrewer]

It would be cool to set up a chair and a cooler in the amphitheater, and take a pic with an Angels Red Trout jersey on.....waiting.... 

[Ordos]

Thankfully, they have fixed the movie title.

And Trout is already did well represented (hats, cleats, etc.)

Bonds has a sleazy shop in the lobby of Caesar's Palace too?

Interesting. I didn't know they had any content for current players, I thought it was just about players who had been formally inducted.

If not for this the Angels would not be represented at all thanks to the fact that the HOF chose to induct Nolan Ryan with the Rangers even though he had far more accomplishments with the Angels and even the Astros.

Definitely a bucket list item.  Have fun !

Is it the HOF that chooses what team players are inducted with? It seems like it would make more sense to let the players choose.

They do now. They didn't then.

Hmm. That's interesting. When did it change?

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

When is the AW HOF road trip?

[Tank]

I remember the HOF stepping in when Wade Boggs was planning on induction as a member of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Personally I believe that they ought to just forget having a player go in with a particular team, leave the cap blank or have the image without one, especially in the era of free agency when guys move around a lot. It made some sense when most stars spent their entire careers with one team, not so much now.

I made the drive at night in the fog from Albany to Cooperstown. Having no idea what the road looked like I attempted to keep the tail lights of the car in front of me in sight. If he had gone off the road I would have been right behind him.

It was a great trip. When I came out of the Hall a fresh snow had fallen giving the village a sort of Christmas Town feeling.

I'll post a few pics later, but I can tell you guys that there were a few Angels fans about, and random children who say Trout is their favorite. Glad we get to watch him.

When is the AW HOF road trip?

Mang, is that a great idea!
