July 13 - All-Star game, Anaheim, Calif. July 25 - Hall of Fame inductions, Cooperstown, N.Y.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Roberto Alomar stared at the adoring crowd and was nearly rendered speechless, the tawdry episode of his stellar career long since forgotten. Bert Blyleven was more composed but moved nonetheless as he stared at his 85-year-old mother and reminisced about his late father. Both men were inducted on Sunday into the Baseball Hall of Fame along with front-office guru Pat Gillick.
Cooperstown is home to the baseball Hall of Fame, with busts of legends such as Babe Ruth and Ted Williams. It's also home to the Dreams Park national invitational youth baseball tournament. A summer tradition in Cooperstown for 15 years, the Dreams Park tournament features weekly events for children ages 10-and-under and 12-and-under. Each week, 104 teams comprised mostly of boys from around the nation compete. But during the week of Aug. 13, one team will feature all girls, including a local athlete.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Lou Piniella once intentionally walked Andre Dawson so many times in a game at Wrigley Field that he lost track. When the game finally ended, it was on a 16th inning single by the Cubs' Dave Clark, who made Piniella's Reds pay for walking Dawson to load the bases.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Bert Blyleven knows what took him to where he's been and where he's headed - his heritage. I'm Dutch, I'm stubborn. I think it's the stubbornness, the consistency. You take the good with the bad," said the 60-year-old Blyleven, the first player born in the Netherlands to earn Major League Baseball's highest honor, election to the Baseball Hall of Fame. "I came up at a young age. I retired at an old age. I was one of only three pitchers to win a game before their 20th (birthday) and after their 40th. It's just loving a game that you felt that you could compete at the highest level.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Everyone's heard of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, where the annual induction ceremony honoring the sport's greatest players will be held this year on July 25. But this village in upstate New York offers much more than sports history. Summertime visitors throng here for all types of culture and recreation, from the Glimmerglass Opera and art by Grandma Moses and Winslow Homer, to boating on a picturesque lake, a museum of Indian artifacts, and the Otesaga, a 19th-century hotel restored to grandeur by a $40 million renovation.
