A Special Thanks to Those Who Believe

Cooperstown Dreams Park was built to bring my father's dream, of giving every player in America a chance to play in the legendary home of baseball, Cooperstown, NY. to reality. It then became our family's vision, to honor my father and his five brothers who played baseball and served their country.

Cooperstown Dreams Park and the American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame have accomplished what was once a dream. As seen through the eyes of coaches, players and parents for all of the reasons this park was built, it is truly an inspiration to all of us.

Cooperstown Dreams Park offers our players a chance to succeed, to savor their moment in the spotlight and to feel the excitement of success. We promote a healthy spirit of competition, while at the same time always maintaining traditional values and integrity of the game. Many coaches and parents have described their week at Dreams Park as the highlight of their child's life. It is that spirit that has made Cooperstown Dreams Park the "Crown Jewel of Youth Baseball." We take pride in keeping the tradition of America's game, baseball, in its purest form.

Beginning with our opening ceremony, you can feel the energy and excitement of the cultural exchange and life enrichment. More than 1,200 teams come together for pin trading , orientation, eating together, skills competitions, and the excitement of the tournament. As the competition builds, all 22 fields coming to life, with home runs, diving catches and heroic saves. This is the beginning of a player's dream, becoming his own hero. To be inducted into the most prestigious Youth Baseball Hall of Fame, and receiving the coveted Hall of Fame Ring, the highlight of this experience leaves every player with a great sense of pride, dignity and accomplishment, through the traditional values of faith, family, country and baseball.

Thank you . . . . We see endless probabilities.

Kindest Regards, Yours in Baseball,
