A WHACK PERSPECTIVE OF COOPERSTOWN

7.3.10
BY:MSR
CHANGES: PART ONE
A WHACK PERSPECTIVE OF COOPERSTOWN

Things change. Just as they always seem to do. The seasons change. Our routines change. Over the course of time, even we change. Then, isn't it odd that we are not prepared for those changes. We become so comfortable with the routine that a little change shakes us up a bit. I have become gripped to the tradition of things, especially in the great sport of Baseball. It has been my one constant. The thing I can count on from early spring to late fall. Last week I ventured to Cooperstown, NY to visit the mecca of Baseball with my Dad. It was my third visit but it had been nearly ten years since my last. I should have expected it but The Hall of Fame has changed also. Some for the good and some for the bad. As a Cincinnati Red die hard, some changes were a little unnerving.

While on our way to the Hall I enjoyed explaining some of the highlights of the museum to my Dad. Like the Joe Nuxhall baseball from his first game as the youngest major leaguer to ever play during WWII. Then there were game balls from the back to back no hitters from Johnny Vander Meer. I also bragged about the "First Professional Nine" mural that would surely still be there at the entrance of the 2nd floor "History of the Game" exhibit. Though it had been several years since my last journey, I was certain they would still be intact. They were not. Change had fallen like a dark shroud over my passion. I could not find them and was saddened until I sought out some answers.

A Cooperstown attendant explained that there is a rotation of archives and it depends on the donors of those artifacts. Sometimes those exhibits are requested by family members and are on temporary or permanent leave. It all depends on several factors and a lot of displays are rotated accordingly. I grudgingly accepted the changes and moved on. Now, I was ready for other changes on full alert. There would be more changes for different motives undoubtedly because Baseball has changed quite a bit since the late nineties.
