Cooperstown All Star Village

DREAM SINCE 8u Fulfilled! Entire family had fun. This place is great! They need to improve the family BBQ. The food should be edible but other then that… so much fun. Baseball fields were in good condition after a long hot summer. Loved that you could take a hay cart to the parking lot! Beware of golf carts. Get your towel early so pins can stay organized. Bunks were clean & it all seemed safe (really safe). Our team had so much fun. One kid started to complain about the air conditioning unit not working… it was fixed in one day. cowboy up I say! Liked that it was smaller then Dream Park.

This place is not meant as a family experience. Outside of trading pins and watching baseball games there is nothing for siblings to do. The pool is filthy. When I say filthy I mean cloudy dirty water. Unkempt by staff. Rusty tables and chairs and weeds everywhere.
The fields are ok. I would not call them spectacular. The view from the overlook is beautiful.
The bathroom facilities at the fields leave one speechless. They are so dirty. They are all concrete so it should be an easy clean for the staff all day yet no one cleans them.
Concession stands as well are filthy. Kids are clueless and have no supervision to help. It is not pleasant being served by a teen wearing a filthy and I mean filthy t shirt. What does that speak about the kitchen area.
Food is gross. They say no outside food but we brought in pizzas and stuff to feed our families. The players food was so bad. We all received calls from our children daily looking for real food.
Do NOT do the bbq they have on the first day. It consists of boiled hamburgers yes, I said boiled salads that are left out uncovered with flys all over. Garbage is left overflowing and your on line at every station at least 20 minutes to get even a drink.
Now onto the rooms. FILTHY. I had to run out and get my own cleaning supplies from Lysol to bleach to wipes. Stains on rugs and the sickest part black mold in air conditioners. I was wondering why my family was getting headaches. Shower was full of pink mold. I had to bleach entire bathroom. The room devote is nothing to look at but I wouldn’t have cared if it was clean.
Laundry «facility» is a joke. Umpires hang out next to it all day long. Using foul language and making fun of teams. Then go into laundry facility remove paying customers clothes and leave them on a counter so they can wash there own things. Sorry but I need an explanation why staff is doing laundry at work.
Golf carts… well they are all over and the boys driving them are pleasant but they drive extremely fast and while I was there one ran over a child’s foot.
Don’t leave house without toiletries. Thank for the right out in town because «general store» has nothing. Just Cooperstown gear and ice cream. That staff is completely rude. Lady behind counter will speak to u like trash.
Owner us horrible. Actually had a 16 year kid knock on the door of a family staying above his «office» and told them at 3 in the afternoon the family needed to be quiet because he was in his office. When the dad went down to speak with him chicken little refused to open the door.
Restaurant is as slow as a snail. Most likely because waitresses are all hanging out by the additional dirty bathrooms talking in a group.
The concept of this place is wonderful but this faculty needs to be bulldozed and restarted.

I am not sure what some of the reviewers who gave negative reviews were talking about. Our experience at All Star Village was amazing. For the record, we didn’t stay onsite with our son, we stayed at the Courtyard Marriott about 5 minutes away (which was great I might add), so I cannot speak for the adult hotel accommodations at the park.
First off, I should say I wasn’t even looking forward to this trip. I don’t love baseball and that thought of flying all the way across the country to do nothing but watch baseball for a week sounded awful to me, but I love my son and it’s his passion, so of course I did it for him. I only include this bit of information so anyone reading knows I came in with a somewhat negative attitude and left with a positive one! Really the experience couldn’t have been better.
Yes, it is accurate that it is not actually in Cooperstown. It is in Oneonta which is about a 20 – 25 minute drive to the village of Cooperstown. To me this wasn’t a big deal, but I am from California and we drive to everything, so it wasn’t out of the ordinary for me. We had a rental car and when we wanted to go tot he Hall of Fame we drove there, not a problem. It also gave us the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas, stop in at a few antique stores and just take in the scenery.
Now on to the facility itself. Set up on a hill with an amazing view of the surrounding area, it looked like a postcard. The baseball fields are down below and yes there are some hills to walk back up after you watch the games, but I wouldn’t describe them as «horrendous» as some other reviewers did. Really if you can’t handle walking up a small hill, well then you probably need to think about focusing some of your time getting into shape rather than having your kid work so hard at it. They did also have golf carts and wagons to carry people up the hills after games if they didn’t want to walk, so even if exercise isn’t your thing or for anyone physically unable, there was that option available. The fields themselves were great. I don’t know much about baseball fields but they seemed a lot better than the other facilities we have traveled to in the past. I can understand why some people did not like the caged in feel of the viewing area for the parents, but I can also understand why the facility doesn’t want a bunch of parents standing behind home plate coaching as they often do at other fields I have been to. The benefit of the viewing areas is that they are covered so you don’t have stand in the hot sun while watching the game. Many of our team’s parents just stood right outside the caged area near the first base line. It wasn’t terrible and not worth complaining about in my opinion. Each field also has a camera so you can stream the game online as well. I do see why some people didn’t like the ads which interrupted right in the middle of a play as that was a little annoying, but all of the videos had sound when I played them, not just the championship field as someone else wrote. Maybe this has changed since that reviewer posted their review.
The tavern up above has a bar and a restaurant and the food was fine. It wasn’t gourmet, but I didn’t expect it to be since it is a baseball facility. The drinks were good and it was nice to be able to socialize with the other parents over a cocktail in between games. There is another area where you can sit and have drinks and overlook all the fields. I thought this was a really nice option for people who wanted to watch other some of the other teams play.
The players village seemed great when we dropped our son off, it was spotlessly clean and the bunks seemed better than any I ever had when I went to camp as a kid. The rooms were air conditioned and had a flat screen TV in them. What else do kids need? The bathrooms looked clean as well, although I didn’t walk all the way in, but my son didn’t complain. He did say it would have been nice to have a bathroom inside the bunkhouse itself, but hey it’s camp. The rest of the facility was clean and organized. The store was very well merchandized. I didn’t hear anything negative from my son about the food, but he isn’t all that picky, so I can’t really comment.
One of my favorite things was that they had professional photographers taking pictures of the kids playing in every game. You can view the pictures online after each game and choose your favorites and then order them online as individuals or you can also have posters, buttons and other keepsakes made. They took some great action shots of my son pitching that will make a great series on a poster. They are a bit pricey, but I figured this was a once in a lifetime experience.
Overall the entire experience was great and I know my son will never forget his time at the Cooperstown All Star Village.

Here now… Kids are having a good time because they get to stay with all the kids. Viewing for parents and fans is HORRIBLE!!! You are seated in caged bleachers down the line and forced to watch through chain link fencing with angles so bad you cannot even see the batter. No viewing from behind the plate or outfield. All fencing covered around all fields.
Umpiring behind the plate and on bases is very sketchy. Sometimes comical. Would not come back.

Our trip to this facility was not the best experience. I stayed in the 2 bedroom room, while my husband & son were in the bunks. We had been to Dreams Park 2 years earlier with my younger son, we did our best to not make comparisons, and our first few hours on seemed great, but that quickly went down hill. We went to All Star this year because Dreams Park was booked and when my husband looked at this park, they advertise as being comparible/​run the same as Dreams Park. We thought it may be nice to have a little bit of a different experience and it wiuld be better than not going at all.
Positives from a players/​coaches point of view:
1) bunk houses are air conditioned & have a tv.
2) there is a pool onsite for the players.
3) uniforms are nice
4) fields are nice
5) fireworks show on fri night was good
6) bath houses were maintained at a good level
Negatives:
1) the Hills to get anywhere are horendous
2) staff is rude
3) owner/​operator is not only totally absent, but if you do happen to run in to him, he is rude and arrogant. (Unlike Dreams Park, were the owner greets everyone at opening ceremonies, is at the fields every day, very friendly, and thanks everyone at closing ceremonies)
4) Food is terrible
5) Closing ceremonies is LONG and drags on. Boys have to line up alomst 2 hours before they take the field.
6) Laundry service is unorganized and always late getting uniforms back to bunk houses
8) the security is not very good. Boys walked right past them on numerous occasions and there are areas on site were there is no security and anyone can walk to the bunk houses with no problem
9) check in was long and confusing and unorganized
I am sure i could go on, but must move on to the «hotel» stay portion of this review.
As a parent staying on site, here was my experience.
Positives:
1) they have golf carts and trailors greeting guests in parking lot to help with luggage to rooms (this ia also because they refuse to let you pull up to the rooms to just unload your car, even thiugh there is parking space right in front)
2) it was nice to be «on site» and not have to drive to the park everyday
3) the outdoor dining area was nice (for drinks only)
Negatives:
1) room that cost $ 1400/​week is run down, old, has stains all over carpet, nasty leopard print bedding.
2) my room was located on lower level, next to trash compactor, and were they store their golf carts. I was kept awake every night by the people walking marathons above me, at all hours of the day/​night. The creaking of the floor above me was so bad i video taped it, as no one believed me. It is very apparent the rooms are poorly constructed. Then the trash compactor was being used and the staff power washing the golf carts at 2am! Needless to say, no sleep was had all week.
3) when i called to ask if i can be switched to a different room, i was transferred to a voicemail. To which no one ever returned my call. After the 4^th night, i asked to speak to a manager, after speaking to her, she said i would need to speak to the owner. When i tried talking to him, he was very rude & dismissive, saying «there is always noise when staying at a hotel & you are the only one complaing» (i found out later another family stayed i one of thei off site motels, had numerous complaints, asked to speak to the owner and he refused to speak to them). I told him i video taped the noise and he refused to watch/​listen to it. He also called me a liar when i stated they were outside my room at 2am power washing the carts.
4) the hills to go to the fields are horrendous
5) the pool was dirty
6) the food at restaurant pretty bad (they have 1 shrimp dish that was good. DO NOT order their burgers!!!)
Needless to say, in the end, we couldnt help but make a comparison and the DREAMS PARK experience is much better. If you have the choice of Dreams Park, or not going to Cooperstown, just pass on going all together. Not worth the $ invested.

My son and I just spent a week at Cooperstown All Star Village. We both had a blast. My dad also came and he had a wonderful time too. My son said it is the best week of his life. I will recommend this park to everyone I know. It is an experience i will never forget. I hope my 5 year old continues to play baseball so I can go back and coach another team.

I was very surprised to read some of the negative reviews of All Star Village after being there this summer. Perhaps they’ve taken these criticisms and fixed them because we had an amazing time and couldn’t have asked for more. Fields are wonderful, staff is friendly and helpful, everything was organized and ran very, very smoothly. The competition was what we expected, a handful of very competitive teams, a larger group of middle of the road teams, and a few teams that were just there for fun.
The boys loved staying in the bunkhouse, no complaints there, and thought the food was great. Sure, you have to look through a fence to watch the game from the parent’s viewing area — but that’s pretty standard for any real tournament or serious league, unless you’re playing pure park rec league. I do wish there was shade on the bleachers, or stadium seating, but a couple of tarps and some bungies from the local Walmart took care of the shade issue real quick.
The food at the tavern and overlook is pretty blah — the fries are terrible. But we ate out most of the time, so no biggie. We weren’t there for the dining. The C-​town Shandy is a terrific refreshing drink to have while watching the games on the screens lining the tavern. And it was no problem to check our son out for family dinners, etc.
What really earned the 5 stars was the personal attention the co-​owner, Bucket, gives to each and every team, coach, and kid. We had a plate ump that was outright rude to kids. Halfway through the game Bucket showed up and had him escorted off the property. Done deal. He actually cared about the kids and their experience. Very few times have I seen any tournament director take the kids side over an ump. Nice job!
We loved it at CASV and would return again. We drove through Dreams Park and it had a very factory feel to it, way too many people to have that personal touch and family feel that CASV has.

It’s hard to assign a numerical rating. There are many good things and a few poor.
On the plus side, the facilities are amazing. Dorms for teams are new, attractive and air conditioned. Opening ceremonies are well organized and get the families excited. The nine fields are well groomed and offer easy access to snack stands and facilities. Golf carts are abundant and drivers will take you up and down the hills. An outdoor bar and restaurant overlook the fileds, and an indoor tavern has live coverage of all fields.
The few areas of disorganization are therefore surprising. Most significantly, the tournament directors seem entirely unprepared to deal with rain delays. Instead of resetting interrupted games, the entire schedule is updated. This makes it nearly impossible to take advantage of down time. Seating for games at most fields is limited to uncovered stands with poor sightlines.
Merchandising is extensive. You won’t leave without multiple souvenirs. Whether this is a plus or minus is up to you.
At the end of the day, the players have a great time.

This has nothing to do with the All Star Village but since it is the closest
Gas station near there and If we can save one family from this inconvenience it is worth it.
Please pass this along. Purchased gas here on July 15. Tried to use the same cc the next day and it was declined. Someone from that gas station swiped the info on the card and changed all of my personal info and purchased over $ 1000 worth of merchandise over the internet. Tried to report it to the state police and they were less then helpful. Trying to save others front the same fate. PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG.
MIRABITO #71
CLOSEST GAS STATION TO THE ALL STAR VILLAGE
All Star Village Was a great Experience. Could have done without the hassle of the Credit Card Thievery.

I’ve taken our team to Cooperstown All Star Village the last 5 years. The first time here I was an umpire. The next five years, I was the baseball manager.
I’ve been to both, All Star Village and Dreamspark. I can say that I prefer to stay at CASV. I prefer the air conditioning over electric fans. I prefer to watch TV on a 52″ flat screen TV over nothing at all. The bathrooms are cleaner. The beds are more comfortable. The surroundings are greener, full of trees, and beautiful golf course right behind the bunkhouses. As for the food, I can’t complain. We had three meals a day. I was fine, the players and coaches had no complaints. We were fed. If ever we wanted more food, we would just walk up to the Tavern and have a few cold drinks. The kids enjoyed the pizza, I enjoyed the steak. However, the steep hill leading to the restaurant was a pain. Hey, there is nothing wrong with exercise.
The fields have improved tremendously from five years ago. From semi-​flat mounds to turf mounds and panavision scoreboard on the championship field. Comparing CASV to the other location, I liked the fields better at CASV. The dirt and grass is better. At CDP, the dirt was a little soft. I am impressed how the grounds crew were able to maintain the field and get it ready for a game after heavy rain. Impressive.
All I can say is that coming from California and visiting Cooperstown is always a memorable experience. It’s always great to meet new people and actually sometimes run into someone you know. Every year that is always a great story or experience from players, coaches, and parents. It’s always a great feeling to go back each year.
All in all, every year that we’ve gone back to CASV, it’s always gotten better.
We will be back again in July 2014. I’m sure there will be something new again.

Cooperstown All Star Village is an incredible experience for any baseball family.
The grounds are impeccable, the accommodations were clean and comfortable.
All of the amenities surpassed our needs. The staff was approachable and professional.
The closing ring ceremony was the perfect way to end the week.
I would recommend this camp to any family looking to enjoy a memorable baseball vacation of a lifetime
.

I have had the privilege to travel quite a bit in my life and can say that this is among the most poorly run facility I have ever experienced. Ball Fields/​Umpires are just great, but the score boards often don’t work. When approaching a concession stand save your time and do not order. Simply ask what they have available, as 75% of the menu is unavailable. When something is available you will be charged more than is on the menu board. Pretzels listed at $ 3.75 are charged at $ 4.00, etc. They have an awesome mountain top sitting area with views of the fields, but expect 2 hours waits after food is ordered if it arrives at all. The walk up bar? 30 – 45 minutes for a beer. Inside, just as bad. Nothing is stocked. Don’t expect fruit for cocktails or beers and don’t expect to pay with a credit card unless you bring your own pen to sign the receipt. They don’t have any pens. If you finally get to be next in the beer line, they will run out of plastic cups and have to run up to the main house to get them. After the bartender returns with cups she will have to excuse herself to use the restroom leaving the bar unattended. This will be another 10 – 15 minutes. When you do have the opportunity to spend money here it will be painful. If you are here, you are here. They have you, and they know it. If you attend the family barbeque DO NOT expect it to run smoothly. They can’t even set up a cashier that accepts all cash. The wait is 30 minutes and the food is really something to see. Chicken is passable, but the cheeseburgers are actually floating in water. Yes, I actually wrote «floating in water». Bees swarming the soda machines. The hamburgers float at the concession stand as well when they are available. Employees complain about a manager that fires people for looking at him funny. There is one thing that is consistent here; people walking around laughing and joking with each other about how poorly this place is run. Kinda brings you all together.

My son’s team recently played at Cooperstown All Star Village. While this is a dream place — what with the Baseball Hall of Fame being there — it is really the kids, parents, and coaches that make the experience what it is. The facility itself was disappointing. Upon check in, the coaches said that the bunk house they were assigned was not even clean. Trash had been left on the floor by whatever team had occupied it before. The food was disappointing. In fact, all the players said the food was absolutely horrible. Shower facilities were «pretty nasty» as some of the boys reported. And can you image? These are BOYS describing something as dirty and nasty… so can you image by parent standards how unsanitary the showers/​bathrooms must have been?
The worst part was the Championship game itself. No complaints against the players or umpires… but the announcer was just mean and really appalling. Our group of parents actually decided NOT TO PURCHASE the DVD of the Championship game because it would have been absolutely demoralizing for the kids and would be just a bad ending to what was otherwise a memorable and fantastic team experience.
Please note that all games during the week are broadcast WITHOUT sound. Only the Championship game is broadcast with sound. Thus, all the parents were excited to finally watch the game being announced. However, we all ended up turning the sound off because the announcer was simply maddening. He was discouraging and NEGATIVE throughout the game. The impression we got was that this was a very bitter man. He mentioned several times throughout the announcement what a BORING — yes, he actually said boring — game it was. He even went so far to say that the umpires must be BORED out there. He really put down the pitchers on our team, pretty much saying they performed badly. One of the pitchers «checked» first base a few times in case the runner was going to steal… and the announcer had to say twice that there was absolutely no reason to be doing that, and that the pitcher should be concentrating on striking the batter out… not checking first base. The announcer referred to his own experiences several times, saying «well, maybe that’s just me.» Seriously, this guy was one bitter person who probably never made it very far in his own baseball career and was just set on putting the kids down during this last Championship game. Shame on him for capping off the kids’ week, for ending their great memories on such a sour, negative, put-​down note.
Please keep in mind that I am by no means one of those overly sensitive parents guarding my kid like he’s 5. We have a tough team of boys that are awesome players. They made it to the Championships after all. What we as parents are so upset about is the UNPROFESSIONAL, MEAN-​SPIRITED announcement of the game. Thank goodness the boys did not hear all that negativity during the actual game — for either team. Calling their last game — the Championship game — boring?! Saying the umpires must be bored out there? Really?! How much did each team pay to play at this park? And this is what they get on their DVD of the game? This is what all their friends and relatives are hearing across the country as they tune in to watch what is supposed to be a lifetime experience? Boring? Implying the players don’t know what they are doing?
Although I would highly recommend any kid to experience the magic of playing in Cooperstown, again, I would have to stress that the «magic» comes from your own team, from the other great teams that show up, from the parents, the coaches, friends, and family. It is not from the actual facility and definitely not from the announcer.
By the way, when you do watch the live feeds of the game during the week (again, broadcast WITHOUT sound), know that they run horrible commercials overlapping the game. You cannot avoid the commercials. They just without notice appear during the game. Three times I have missed my kid at bat or making a play because of the dang commercials.

As a parent if you are looking at a trip to CASV, Dream Park or any other similar venue as a «vacation»…good luck with that. I went to CASV as the manager of a team in 2012. I had no delusions about relaxing or having a lot of personal fun on the trip. Running a team is work. Managing kids both on and off the field is work. It’s very rewarding and I wouldn’t give back a minute of it but it is WORK. If I want a vacation I’ll go to the Caribbean with my wife, thank you.
The fields are terrific, the competition is great and the atmosphere for baseball is about as good as it gets. We had a bad rainstorm mid-​tournament and the field staff did an amazing job of getting the fields ready to play in short order. The fact that it is difficult to watch games as a spectator from outside the field confines is annoying. This is due to the privacy fencing that they have. Sometimes I just wanted to go watch another game when time permitted but practically had to go sit inside with the parents in order to do so. Other than that the field complex is terrific. The dedicated nurse station near the bunkhouses was really nice. Those folks do a great job.
The bunkhouse situation with the kids is a lot more difficult to endorse. Frankly, staying in one big room with a bunch of 12 year olds who have questionable hygiene practices is dicey to begin with. Having said that the A/​C was marginal at best. The beds are like sleeping on a piece of plywood (if you weigh 100lbs, probably not a big deal). I can’t say this was all that fun for the coaches although the kids seemed fine with it. The laundry service for uniforms is nice. The unbreakable rule about no kids being allowed to roam the enclosed player area without a coach escort is a major pain. Imagine 12 kids wanting to do 12 different things and 3 coaches to chase them. I understand the reason for the rule. They have a lot of liability exposure but this really beats the coaches up over the course of a week. The bathroom and shower situation is flat out gross. No privacy. Crowded. I imagine that they have better bathroom facilities for our troops stationed in Afghanistan.
The food is below average at best. Powdered eggs, bacon that might not have been actual bacon, hot dogs, etc. I wasn’t expecting steak and lobster but this part of the program was pretty weak. We ate off campus a lot.
My wife and her another parent rented the «grand suite» or whatever they call it. This is the second floor room that overlooks the bunkhouses. The location was terrific and convenient. We were able to go up there and shower and get away from the craziness of the bunkhouse. The room itself was not great. In my wife’s bedroom there was a portable A/​C unit that had no drain! She/​we had to shut it down, lift it and drain it into a large pot and then dump it into a sink every 5 or 6 hours!!! Rube Goldberg would have been proud. LOL. When I first went up there and she told me this I was stunned. I told her she was wrong. She wasn’t!
Like I said, this was not a vacation and I had no delusions. The park is beautiful and the baseball (the reason we were there) was great. Outside of that the experience could use some fine tuning.

DON’T stay on site– there are plenty of nice alternatives in the Oneonta area if you search.
The twelve year olds that I went with LOVED the food– it is geared toward them, not adults.
DO bring an umpire– it will be an incredible experience for them.
You are not in Cooperstown, but it is a beautiful 30 min drive away.
I have talked to three coaches who took teams to both CASV and Dreams Park. All three endorsed both, but preferred CASV.
A quote from one of our players after we got home sums it up «Definitely the best week of my life»

«If I build it they come» must have been the mantra for the owner of this place. He lures you in with «Cooperstown» in the name, and once you have your team reservation, you are stuck. This place is TWENTY TWO miles from the Hall of Fame and the actual town of Cooperstown (which is adorable and is where the MUCH better Dreams Fields are) Let me say that the fields here in Oneonta are incredible. Well maintained, good seating, nice layout. Great snack bars with reasonable prices at the fields. All the kids working at this place (local high schoolers, maybe some young college kids) are super polite and friendly. Great for baseball playing, but that is where it ends.
The rooms are very expensive ($ 260 a night) and they make a Motel 6 look like the Ritz. Rugs have a damp feeling, bedspreads look dirty (sheets were very clean though) and everything else is generic as it gets. Has a phone in the room, but it doesn’t work. Heard this from many other people in other rooms too. What if there is an emergency in the middle of the night and you cannot find your cell phone, but have enough wherewithall to press ‘0’ on your phone? Well, it’s not going to do you any good since the phone does not work. We were told security was available 24 hours a day to deal with any issues, but how the hell do we call them? No number was provided, and you CANNOT USE THE PHONE IN YOUR ROOM?! The manager told us they are not legally bound to have phones in the room. OK, if that is true, then don’t provide a phone as a decoration — it fools the guest into thinking it works!!!
The baseball dorms were overbooked. Whoever is the genius who does room assignments must have thought it funny to put unchaperoned 12 year old baseball players in rooms on the second floor on top of all the parents and families. Are you kidding me? The building is made of tissue paper and you can hear every single noise these kids make. Boys are loud, they cannot help it. But it would be nice if someone in reservations thought about maybe putting all these kids in one building together, or at the very least, on the first floor. My friend complained to the manager in charge and all she kept saying was «well, we are overbooked with players» No apology, no thought of «oh yeah, putting them on the first floor would have been a better idea.»
Food in the tavern was OK. The ribs and vegetables I got was very good. The caesar salad was fine, but promise me you will get dressing on the side because you will get so much of it dumped on that you cannot find the lettuce. The tavern itself is dark and feels dirty. The décor in the outer rooms is just plain ugly. For the amount of money this place must make in a summer, they could invest in some new décor.
The whole place needs a major makeover. All the buildings are tired, and they smell. The hall rugs are disgusting and need a shampoo. Don’t walk barefoot.
The pool is tiny, but the hot tub is nice.
Disappointing that after rainstorms the field use policy is that games cannot start for four hours. Well, our rainstorms ended at 3pm and there was no one out trying to dry those fields for what could easily have been eight 7:30pm games. Instead, all those teams and families money went into evaporation when it should have been used to clear water from infields and get the games THEY PAID FOR. No excuse for this. We cannot control the weather, but we can control what we do about it after. Really, really disappointing for the players and fans.
So teams from afar, be warned. This is actually «ONEANTA All Star Village» You want to be in Cooperstown? Make sure you get yourself into «Cooperstown DREAMS VILLAGE»
