| Stopping off at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown. Unfortunately they don't play games there in January. Doubleday Field is the mythical birthplace of baseball - "the first scheme for playing baseball, according to the best evidence obtainable to date, was devised by Abner Doubleday at Cooperstown, New York, in 1839." |
