I heard so and so will be inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame. My wife says it’s just the voting, but I could swear people on Facebook are talking about going to Cooperstown now? Like, this weekend? Am I misunderstanding? …like, they’re talking about the weather, even!?!

Well, the museum is certainly still open…but I can’t think of anything major happening now, especially since the announcement was already made. Maybe someone last week might have wanted to hear the announcement live, but at this point, I don’t think there’s any specific reason to make Cooperstown a destination, as opposed to doing so in, say, March or November.
