My BASEBALL HALL OF FAME Visit in Cooperstown! 

I live 75 minutes and 65 miles west of Cooperstown. I worked briefly at the Baseball HOF earlier this year and I loved it there. It was/is the quietest and most professional place I have ever worked at. It was so refreshing to work at a place like there because it had everything I look for from an employer. In addition, the HOF is actually about 50% bigger than what is open to the public. There is a full basement with offices, as well as their warehouse of products they have for sale and a mailroom with people who package orders from sales (including online orders). In the back corner of the 3rd floor has a TV that plays Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First" routine. There's so many different exhibits there and its size is so overwhelming and intimidating. Take your time and check out everything. It takes about 2-3 hours to walk the HOF if you look at everything. It costs $23/person and it well worth it; they also have lower prices for seniors and military are free. In addition to the Baseball HOF, Cooperstown, NY is known as the home of James Fenimore Cooper (JFC), one of America's first authors, along side Washington Irving. JFC's father was the one who actually formed/founded Cooperstown (Cooper's Town or the Town of Cooper). JFC is best known today for his Last of the Mohicans novel which is the second novel of his 5-book series called The Leather stocking Tales. On the outskirts of the village is the Fenimore Art Museum/Gallery. This was actually the mansion and estate JFC's father had built and is located right on the shore of Otsego Lake, one of NYS's Finger Lakes. JFC eventually returned later In life to live here. Across the street is the Farmers Museum, an 1840s working farming village. The farm itself was the Cooper's family farm back in the day. Everyone is dressed in the 1840s attire and the livestock and barnyard animals are of what they used back then. There's a blacksmith shop, a church, one-room school, doctors office, a printing press, and other buildings as part of the village. The drive around Otsego Lake is gorgeous and it has many inns and lodges to spend the night in. Doubleday Cafe, a short walk from the HOF is a nice place to eat at. Cooperstown, NY is a fantastic, quaint place to visit.

Did a solo trip here one day cause I had nothing better to do. Ended up spending 5 hours in there. Love it

I grew up an Atlanta Braves fan, when Dale Murphy was our big player (7x All Star, 2x NL MVP). I used to listen to the Braves games on the radio with my grandparents whenever I visited them in Georgia and actually got to see Hank Aaron hit a home run when he came to play in San Diego (not sure exactly when, but sometime in '72 or '73 most likely). Really enjoyed seeing you tour the HoF in Cooperstown and hope to visit there myself some day. I did go to the football HoF induction ceremony in 2008 when Art Monk and Darrell Green got in, which was a great experience after being very involved in stumping for Monk for a couple of years. Thanks so much for sharing your journeys!

Thanks Max for the tour of baseball fans' Disneyland, the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY! My favorite baseball team is...#letsgoOakland !!!!

I'm going with my dad this October and I'm so excited!!! Go Braves

Thanks for this !!! Cooperstown is somewhere i have always wanted to go !!!

Last year when I was flying home from a trip, I sat next to one of the managers for the Cardinals and got to hold his 2011 Championship ring. It was massive. So cool.

Great tour. My hero too is Mickey Mantle. Awesome job!

I think when I go I might shed a few tears out of pure joy because I’ve been waiting for the day I get to go all my life. It will have taken me almost 18 years to finally get the chance to go and April is the time

You’re such a big kid in there. I smiled through this whole thing, thank you ! 😊

One day I will go to Cooperstown 😭😭😭 Go Braves!!

Did anyone else hear Angelic choirs singing when Max entered the plaque hall - I even got goosebumps and I'm not even there 👍

Born and raised in Cooperstown,and played High School Baseball on Doubleday Field. Now live 80 miles south,but always proud of my heritage!

This place is so interesting i need to go someday

I went there last year for Griffey's induction. One of the most amazing places I have been. GO M's

Been there twice as my Dad and I loved baseball. Go Phillies!

actual goals!! thank you for sharing your experience with us

Can't wait to go there one day to see all the A's stuff 🙌🙌🙌

Wow - great tour. And the look on your face is how I feel watching it. I was there years ago in December, the town was decorated beautifully, snow was on the ground the lake was blue and it was stunning. The hall is really an elegant wonder, so magical. We walked onto the field, I think all that was allowed was just near home plate, I didn't see you on the field, don't they allow that anymore? So much want to go again -thanks for the taking me back!

So I have been to the Hall of Fame maybe three times, but I grew up in Cooperstown so it’s funny sometimes to go back and see the familiar surroundings

Mr. Met is the best mascot. The Phillies's Mascot (and most mascot) is a bad sport by bulling the other team. Mr Met never bullies the other team.

Planning a trip. How long do you think it takes tour the whole place? A full day?

I am from Oneonta NY which is a half an hour from Cooperstown . It’s pretty cool

Thanks for sharing! Good video! 👍

Ayyyyy Phillies!!!! You are right, the Phanatic is the best mascot in baseball!!!

love this

Best vlog I see so far in your channel,awesome!! I love baseball

Man I want to go back there Awesome place

Love Cooperstown! Definitely want to go back! As a huge memorabilia fan its amazing to see everything! I agree with number 28 for the Yankees! I didn't realize they sign under their plaques. Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing! Go Yankees is right! Did you check out Double Day Field? There is so much to do up there!

Definitely a bucket list item for sure. I love baseball, especially my team, the Colorado Rockies. For the first time in a long time, I think we have a chance. We're looking good.

You are awesome max you always make me smile or laugh 😊😊

Sooo Cool

Can't wait I'm going tomorrow

Wife and I are going 10/5/2020. GO REDS!!!

I have been to the baseball hall of fame last August my favorite team is the Atlanta Braves

Are you going to be in Upstate NY beyond today? We are big fans and live only 45 mins from Cooperstown? Any plans for a fan meet-up?

Gotta say, my favorite thing from the baseball hall of fame is also the only thing with non-baseball players in the hall of fame. I love that the who's on first routine is in the baseball hall of fame

I just went it was amazing I don’t remember seeing Mickey mantles locker

Wow I live only a couple hours away for there!

Baseball is and will always be my favorite sport. Morals values and respect America the way its supposed to be. Like the military. Great video thanks. Sincerely 6 year army vet and red blooded American!!!

3:58 Go Red Sox

HOLY TOLEDO!!!!!! I saw some Astro's stuff :) he he - this was a very very cool vlog!!

they said that about the iron Man record what is new York's mascot and I got cold chills as you walked three the actual hall would you ever take the football hall of fame tour favorite team is a rival of the Yankees and that is the Orioles

I have never been but it's definitely one of the places I would love to go! Being from south Florida my favorite baseball team is the Miami Marlins but I love me some Boston Red Sox too!! I'm thinking about flying to Boston on July 16th to see them play the Yankees in a double header game!!! We will see but for now we might be able to make it!!! Loved the video Max!

ooh I want to go someday because of the king kin Griffy jr

I want to go to the Hall of Fame next April

That is the only major HOF I have not been to yet. I will get there someday and will have similar reactions as you did Max! I'm a Twins fan. Win for the Minnesota Twins today!

It's awesome seeing you get excited about something that isn't Disney 😂👌🏼

I went a month ago and got a DiMaggio auto plaque

Hey, just uploaded our trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame. My son and I are enjoying videos from other visitors. Nice commentary and presentation. We live in Yankees territory, but remain Cubs fans. :)

I love baseball

Mickey Mantle is my favorite also! Piss on DiMaggio...

This is on my bucket list for sure. Among some of my favorite home run calls... "Back, back, back...HEY! HEY!"...Jack Brickhouse "It looks like, it could be, it IS!!!"... Harry Caray "That ball is outta here!"...Harry Kalas "It's LOOOOONG GONE!!!"...Ernie Harwell "That ball will fly away. My oh my!"...Dave Niehaus "Goodbye Home Run"...Gary Thorne "Get up! Get outta here!"...Bob Uecker "You can put it on the boooooaaaaarrrrd...YESSSSS!!!!!"...Ken "Hawk" Harrelson ...and, being a Yankees fan, I have to include of these... "Holy Cow!"...Phil Rizzuto "That ball is high, it is far, IT IS GONE!!!"...John Sterling "See ya!"... Michael Kay

Your face when you first step into the Hall of Fame... 😂😭😂😭😂😭 "They won the World Series last year and it was amazing!" Arizona Diamondbacks - My team!!! Represent!

Angels in the outfield and Moneyball

Go Twins!

this is the nicest yankees fan in the world

Great Video! I Went There Around 13 yrs Old......Love To Go Now That Im Older. Go Yankees!

I've been there

I have gone once it was awesome go Yankees

I want to go go mets and giants

i live here

I'm going in a week for baseball

I'm a lifelong Yankee fan from Central New Jersey and I've always wanted to go there. Especially now more than ever with Derek Jeter officially inducted. Hopefully I get to go there within the next year. I'm gonna make it a priority to go.

Mantle, the best there ever was, played whole career on one good leg.

I get to go to the hall of fame for a baseball tournament

Question for you Max: Have you ever seen the movie A League of their Own? It's about the women in baseball. I love that movie. Also Lets Go Mets!!!!!!! 😉

It should be in Cincinnati

I have been to the hall of fame and my favorite team is the Yankees.

You must really have a thing for Mickeys! 😊

When are they finally honour Pete Rose

Speaking of baseball I got hit with one Today D:

SO desperate to get there - bummed that I couldn't make it last year to see Mike Piazza get inducted. Max, I think we're destined to be best friends - Disney & baseball are two of my greatest loves! Except now, after seeing this video, we're in a fight! Phanatic is the best mascot in baseball?!? DISAGREE! :):):)

My favorite baseball player of all time is STAN THE MAN MUSIAL or the best pither of all time NOLAN RYAN

sup

3:57 You are evil. Boston Strong

Cle

Toronto Blue Jays. #ComeTogether

theirs no crying in baseball

Where's Lou Whitaker? Not a Yankee so he doesn't matter?

Great look but pls broaden your MLB horizon and take a glance at the iconic Roberto Clemente. Pls do. He's the Latino Ruth.

I am a yankees fan and went to the hall of fame LETS GO YANKEES

Go Phillies! 💕Thx for showing the Phanatic! 💚

You missed the ALL famous baseball ⚾️ uniform of all time #8 which of course belongs to the one and only “Babe Ruth”. How could you miss The Babe, only if there is something really very disturbed about you

Love you but hate this video so much but that's because I'm a redsox fan

Go Yanks

Nice video. I just visited yesterday and it's my most recent video. Could you maybe check out if you are willing to just give a very very small youtube some feedback.

It's you arrogant Yankee fans that make Mets fans more devote. Lol! Thanks for giving Pete a brief sigh of mention. Thurman Munson is the only player I ever shared the same respect for as to the way he played the game. Well, maybe Carlton Fisk too. No one may ever be able to break Joltin' Joe's record but Pete at least tied Were Will Walker's National League record at forty one. Do you think any player will reach over 4k hits again? BTW, I was there many moons ago. Roberto Clemente's section still stands out more than most to me. Is it still there?

What happens with the latino sección 🤦🏽‍♂️

I have been. Go yankees!

Tons of racist in that HOF but no steroid users are allowed?!? Baseball has no moral compass.

Red Sox

no Lou Whitaker ???????????????????????? glad the sports writer's stupidity will be saved for as long as the internet exists.

Why the fuck did he laugh when he mention the "latino part of baseball" .. that racist shit bruh

First

first

Mark Wiens clone.

First!

This whole section .... this whole section..... dude show the museum not your face the entire time .......

Pete Rose doesn't deserve that record and beside Suzuki Ichiro beat that record last season.
