2008 Quest Part
3
Bobby, Danny, Zack and I made
the pilgrimage to Cooperstown for the last ever Hall of Fame Game.
The weekend got off to a great start with a stop by the Troy
Baseball Monument. Then the rest of the way to Cooperstown and the
Hall. We spent quite a bit of time there over the next several days.
Ferguson Jenkins was extremely
entertaining and the parade was fun even though the parade had ended
before the Cubs (or Cubs imposters) arrived. However, as the homerun
derby was about to get underway, the heavens opened up. Heavy rain,
wind, lightening, thunder and hail caused cancellation of the derby.
Hope lingered as there was a
small break in the clouds. The field was uncovered, the ceremonial
first page was thrown, Greg Maddux donated the jersey from his 350th
win to the Hall and then the heavens opened again and it was time to
head home soaking wet.
