Cooperstown, Part One

Tour guide, tour guide, tour gui, KW slow down and say what you have to say.  OK, boy I'm super excited about today.  Oh ok, now I remember, we are going to the Baseball Hall of Fame.  KW, did you know that baseball is our national pastime?  Hey tour guide, do you think I will have a chance to run the bases and slide?  We will just have to wait and see.

Hey tour guide are we there yet?  Yes KW, we are pulling into the parking lot now.

Inside the park.  No games today, but do tell KW.

Hey tour guide, get ready to snap my picture sliding into second base as CJ tries to tag me out.  Fat chance that will ever happen.  I think you are out KW.  Hey do we have instant replay?  Sorry you have been taged out, maybe you should have run a little faster.


Hey tour guide, when does the movie start.  I think we are seeing "Angels in the Outfield".


OK, who put their cleats win our locker?


27 Championships.




Usie in front of George Sisler's plaque.  Hey tour guide, that name sounds familiar.

  1. KW, you are not serious! The African-American Baseball Experience?? Are we changing everything??

    Oh, and Tour Guide's brother remembers 1960 differently. Way back! Way back! You can kiss it good-bye!
