A relatively new and fun exhibit not only showcases artifacts donated by private collector Barry Halper, but also replicates the New Jersey den where he previously exhibited 50-years worth of memorabilia.
The Halper exhibit complements the hall's collection of more than 30,000 mementos, which include baseballs, bats, uniforms, ballpark artifacts, and numerous other collectables.
Plaques bearing the pictures and biographies of major-league baseball luminaries (Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Reggie Jackson) line the walls, and the rest of the complex features multimedia displays, exhibits for kids, and enough memorabilia to satisfy the most die-hard fans.
You can expect a big crowd for the museum's once-a-year induction ceremony, and you'll need advance reservations for the annual Hall of Fame baseball game.
25 Main St., Cooperstown, NY, Phone: 607/547-7200. Cost: $9.50. May-Sept., daily 9-9; Oct.-Apr., daily 9-5. www.baseballhalloffame.org
