A couple things about Oneonta, NY, about 15 miles sounth of Cooperstown, where we stayed our second night.
First, Brooks’ is a well-loved local BBQ joint, with “the largest charcoal grill east of the Mississippi”. Killer BBQ and phenomenal cole slaw (no lie). Good stuff.
Secondly, I now know where Carl Spackler retired to after leaving Bushwood Country Club (Caddyshack reference for those scratching their head).
I’m telling you, he looked like him and talked to himself like Carl…..”Cinderella story…..”.
Finally, Oneonsa is the home to another Cooperstown field of dreams. Called, “Cooperstown All Star Village”, this place houses 64 teams with basically the same schedule as Dreams Park. That’s 164 teams playing baseball around Cooperstown every week all summer long.
Finally, a few pictures from the rest of the day in Cooperstown.
Proof my boys can get along. #amazing
Here’s what bracket play looks like for a field of 104 teams. (BTW, our Wayzata team’s first opponent in bracket play: Chaska. Can’t make it up.)
