This weekend, the small lakeside town of Cooperstown, NY, will see its population grow from around 2,000 to nearly 50,000 as large crowds of baseball fans make their pilgrimage to the Hall of Fame. Fans will fill nearby hotels, crowd Main Street and crowd around the Clark Sports Center to watch David Ortiz, Jim Kaat, Tony Oliva, Minnie Miñoso, Gil Hodges, Buck O’Neil and Bud Fowler officially enter these hallowed halls.
