- July 5, 2019 Week 6. The Cooperstown Dreams Park experience the day in the life of a player and coach inside the barracks and fields. My son played here week #6, 2019 for No Offseason and I was the Head Coach. I captured behind the scenes videos to create this. Cooperstown is the ultimate baseball experience for youth age 12 years old. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for players and families. This video is a highlight to show a quick glimpse into what the players do all week; from pin trading, games, arcade and more.
Went to Cooperstown at 10 and 12 years old. Looking back, it was such an amazing experience. As I watch this video today as a 27 year old man it legitimately brings tears to my eyes remembering the good times on the diamond.
Did you go in 2004 at 10? If so we went the same week
@@minari8076 what dumb ass says that
@@Starz_Ssc what?
Played in this tournament back in August 2004. Watching this brought those memories back that I cherish so much. Hit my first ever home run here and played way too much Big Buck Hunter. Glad to see that's still in the arcade lol!
what age were you in 2004? i went that year too and 2006
I umpired in CDP in 2016. Very good experience overall.
High Notes: Couldn’t be a better setting out in the middle of nowhere. Gorgeous scenery from anywhere in the Park. Grounds crew makes sure all games get played even if it rains. They were able to get fields playable quickly and we could play well into the night. Pin trading for the players was fun. I only traded for team pins of teams that played on my field on games I worked. I still have those in a bag somewhere. Gave away some of my CDP umpire stuff to kids at the end of the week. Parents are kept beyond the dugouts which puts them in the OF area. Made for some nice quiet games. Loved the town. Small and quiet. Very old feel to it. Like a throwback in life. Double Day Field was nice to visit and watch a game. Ran into a guy in a St Louis Browns jersey who had just played. We shared the same story. Both of our Grandparents were drafted by the Browns but never got to play after being drafted to the Army. Enjoyed watching the team that took me play when I wasn’t working and seeing their enjoyment as well. I broke a CDP rule and squirreled away some CDP baseballs for them to all sign for each other. Food was ok for a camp site environment. No AC in the cabins. But I didn’t mind that so much. Cracked a window and the night temp changes helped. Took me back to being a kid so it was a high moment. Met some great guys that I worked games with. Picture taking on all of the fields was great. I got some good action photos to frame for my wall. Just waking up to the fresh air and baseball.
Lows: Not many really. But the fence marked at 200’ is false. More like 185-190’. I walked it out once I saw how short that OF was. The balls are juiced. They make their money on HR souvenirs. The big low was uniforms. After skills competition the player scenery was just boring. Everyone in the same red or blue. I would rather see the teams in their own uniforms. The baseball HOF had some awesome artifacts but I was underwhelmed overall.
Yeah, I get to go this summer and I’m super excited (just not for the hats and unis(but I’ll make ‘em drippy)
Wow I got crazy nostalgia from this vid. Went to Cooperstown back when I was 12 in 2015 and now I'm 18 graduating High School this year. Time flies man!
fr i was there 2 years ago and it feels like yesterday. I wish i could do it over agian.
How long do tournaments usually take? This is my first year of travel and I want to know. Like do you stay in the area for like 7 days or is it just a weekend thing
@@AdvancementAtmosphere I am staying for a week
Yo the is real dsarm bro
Thanks for taking me down memory lane. Played there in 98' and from what I can remember, not much has changed. Awesome to see the pins still being used.
I am 28 years old, I don't play ball anymore but I think back on my travel team experiences and Coooperstown was the best experience of my life. thank you for letting me and my friends and many other kids live the dream at this camp each year.

Great video!!!
We were HITZ
Its Quazy we were the north redhawks same week
Went here in 7th grade back in 2009 or 10 and damn man…. What an awesome experience. Still have all my pins from all the other teams too!
I heard whoever wins this tournament eventually goes in to playing the Little League World Series I don’t know how accurate that is tho.
That is completely false. There is no association with Little League. 95% of the teams are all travel teams. There was a LL team when I was there (without the LL branding as that would violate LL rules) but they didn’t get remotely close to competing.
I went week 5 and we won it was amazing we beat the Homerun Record yo which made it even sweater.
I went there the same week we were b45 academy
That logo is freakin beautiful
I’m going to cooperstown this summer too play
Wait that was my week too
I can vividly remember the smell of that place, the shitty food they gave us, the 8am games that everyone hated, and getting yelled at for not having my pants pulled up to my knees. Good times man good times. Oh yeah and the pin trading. I still have all my pins.
Boy what dude I loved those deli sandwiches they gave us
Stayed in same barrack back in 2015 15b
