While a youngster, he collected baseball cards which he stored in boxes and treasured as souvenirs of the USA's favorite pastime. Decades later, he’s reliving that time while visiting the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, upstate New York.

Fresh snow & a nat'l holiday, yet lifts & layout at Jiminy Peak in the Berkshires kept it from feeling crowded. I'm impressed. http://bit.ly/17CRQ6
