Angie and I started our day in Cooperstown having coffee and breakfast with Phil Niekro, a former pitcher in major league baseball who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997. We talked about his amazing career in baseball as a knuckleball pitcher, and he told us of one time when he hit a batter with the ball by accident and the batter charged the mound with a switchblade knife.

I spent the remainder of the early morning walking around beautiful historic Downtown Cooperstown taking pictures for tourists and passing out my business cards. Shown above is a camera phone shot of a well-deserved iced coffee.

At 11:30 when the parade line-up was scheduled, Angie and I walked to the parade staging area to find our parade car.

The parade proceeded down main street, where in the center of town, my business name was announced along with a brief description of what I do. Angie and I were asked not to throw anything from our vehicle during the parade for safety reasons. However, we quickly realized that every car ahead of us was throwing out candy, so I threw out free stickers to the spectators along main street. Had I known, I would have brought along more stickers; there’s always next year.

After the parade, it was time to play some baseball. Angie and I then headed over to Doubleday Field to watch a baseball game played by all-star Baseball Hall Of Fame Inductees. Our new friend, Phil Niekro also took part in the game. Above is a shot of Doubleday Field with the event staff lining up to open the gates.

This was the waiting line to get into Doubleday Field. In all my years of visiting Cooperstown, I had never seen so many people there all at once.
The following are photos of the game. If you wish to use them for any other purpose than for personal use, please contact me for licensing details.
