Question #34: How many Halls of Fame have you been to?

July
30

Sorry for the lack of questions lately, folks. Carp has been on vacation and without my sparring partner, it’s been a little slow.

That said, I don’t want things to get too stale around here, so this question just came to me: How many Halls of Fame have you been to and what is the best one?

The reason I’m asking is that I’m currently in Cooperstown with my dad and one of my brothers, on a little father-son voyage to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The last time I was here was on a camp trip nearly 20 years ago, and we decided it would be a nice mid-summer trip.

I’ve also been to the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., as well as the Bowling Hall of Fame in St. Louis (it’s right near Busch Stadium). Where have you guys been and what stands out?

    Actually none. But not really being into Basketball or Hockey… Baseball is probably the only on of real interest for me. And I’m going to wait until my kids are old enough to appreciate going to it. Right now, they’d only want to play with all the stuff in there.

    sadly… none.

    One day I will make a hall of fame and live forever.

    My best shot? Fishing hall of fame perhaps? lol

    I’ve been to the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Basketball Hall of Fame but not since they renovated it. The Baseball Hall of Fame is awesome. The town has a ton of stores that sell baseball memorabilia. The autographs are over priced but you can typically negotiate. I’ve only gone to the Baseball Hall of Fame once, but been to Cooperstown 3 times to shop. Fun little town it is.
