Canadian ball hall plans a fall trek

October trip to baseball shrine in Cooperstown
By Mark Schadenberg
A late October bus trip into New York State would be a great way to see autumn foliage and visit Cooperstown.
I have never been to the (U.S. version of the) Baseball Hall of Fame.
Previously, when the Blue Jays Class-AAA team was in Syracuse, I would annually tell myself that a trip around Lake Ontario would be a terrific idea -- summer or fall. Toronto’s top farm club moved to Las Vegas and has now relocated to Buffalo, and I still haven’t made the trek to the American baseball shrine.
Now, the Canadian baseball shrine in nearby St Marys, is organizing a coach bus tour to Cooperstown.
Best of all, the bus tour leaves from St. Marys, but has scheduled Woodstock as a second pickup point.
Below is the link and more details.
Sounds like a great mini vacation to enjoy during baseball (MLB) playoffs.
