I love that there are so many actual game items to be found here, but still, seeing some of them amazed me.  Here are about 10 of Hank Aaron’s home run balls, spanning career home runs 700-720, including the one he hit to tie Babe Ruth’s record!

Of course, no visit would be complete without some serious time spent in the Hall of Fame Plaque Gallery.  Here are the first 5 inductees, from the Class of ’36, Babe Ruth, Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, and Walter Johnson.

Some items in the Hall of Fame are more whimsical than others, such as this handsome creature!  Click it for an explanation.  This display lead to random outbursts of “Holy Cow!” from Princess Persistent for the rest of the day!

Monday Veronica and I will be taking a trip down memory lane, as we drag the kids to the college town where she and I met almost 20 yrs ago.  We haven’t been back there since we passed thru on our way to friends wedding in 1997, so I’m really looking forward to it!
