COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.
I covered my first Hall of Fame induction weekend last year, when Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn got their plaques. And Cooperstown truly was a mob scene -- an estimated 75,000 people were here, 25,000 more than the previous record crowd set in 1999.
This weekend it's going to be a lot less crowded, I would imagine. Case in point: right now in the media center there are four reporters. Last year I recall dozens of media members here at this time. For whatever that's worth.
Okay, time to go back outside and see who I can bump into.
