cooperstown- day 1

Just a few pictures from today’s events. Timmy and I spent the day driving up (not too bad at just over 4.5hrs but why, why, WHY does everyone drive 50 in the left lane?? Omg, move or move over!!!) while the boys spent the day pin trading with the other 103 teams that are here for the week. Just a few very quick shots from today’s opening ceremonies.

John said that this is his version of Disney. It’s total and complete baseball immersion.

So you have some idea of the scope, this isn’t even half of the teams. And a shot with my borrowed 2x lens extender with the 70-200 from across the field and top of the stands. With the Royals team banner of course. (they are the Royals to the immediate left of the orange banner)

Apparently no one slept really well in the barracks friday night (somehow, not surprising) but after a good dinner out last night,  and all the excitement of the day I think they’ll all be so tired they’ll all pass right out.

The Royals will be playing two games today- one at 11am and one at 4:30pm. The 11am one will be streamed live on www.dreamsparktv.net  if you’d like to watch along at home.

The best part of last night for me besides seeing the boys so happy and excited? Freihofer cookies!!!!! Totally forgot they would have those up here. Bonus!
