Cooperstown All Star Village

Great to see Cooperstown All Star Village mentioned in The Athletic today as part of their MLB All-Star coverage for The New York Times. Red Sox All-Star Jarren Duran recounted hitting 16 home runs in one week at Cooperstown as a 12U player. The article recapped the perspective of Josh Rawitch, the president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. When collecting memorabilia, he often follows up by asking if they've been to Cooperstown. Many MLB players, including Duran, respond affirmatively. Rawitch recalled Duran mentioning he hit 16 home runs and noted that players always remember how many HRs they hit that special week as a kid. Last night, Duran smashed another home run - this time in the MLB All-Star Game. It was a go-ahead two-run homer in the fifth inning to lift the AL past the NL, 5-3. We love hearing about the memories created here in Cooperstown! Duran has a great one! Read the full story here- https://lnkd.in/ekYeDqc7 #allstar #youthsports #mlb
