My parents were confused when we arrived in Cooperstown on an August afternoon in 1978 and there was a HUGE crowd around in town. It turns out that my parents, while planning a 4-week long vacation from our home in Texas, had unknowingly planned our visit to Cooperstown on induction day. I was only 9, […]
by Barry R. For a young teen in Philadelphia in the 1974-1975 timeframe, there was no greater love than the Broad Street Bullies: Bobby Clarke, Bernie Parent, Bill Barber, Rick MacLeish, Dave Schultz, et al.

by Jared Aupperle The “Beer Thursdays” road trip to Boston. Six guys, two brewery stops on the way up, one ridiculous all day beer festival, and the best Belgian waffles ever. Beer Advocate’s Belgian Beer Fest included 100 plus beers and about 1,000 people at each of the two sessions. We of course attended both […]
