Blackcatter - there is a difference between having a record or artifacts on exhibit at the Hall of Fame and being "inducted". Marv Throneberry had artifacts on display when I was there.

Ballparks... wow!!   Before the kids came my wife and I would spend our vacations traveling to different ballparks.   Our honeymoon (which we delayed until baseball season) consisted of going to the Hall of Fame, the Little Falls Mets (no longer in existence), the Maine Guides (Old Orchard Beach), Pawtucket Red Sox (great park!!!) and Fenway (an amazing park!).

My first ball game was at Forbes Field. Since 1984 I've had a season ticket plan at Shea Stadium. Yes, I admit to going to Yankee Stadium - but the last time I was there was in 1979 to see Jerry Koosman when he was pitching for the Twins!   I've been to Veterans Stadium, San Diego, Candlestick, Anaheim, Baltimore(Memorial Stadium), and a number of minor league parks on the east coast.   I LOVE the stadium that the Newark Bears play in - it really has the feel of an old-time city ballpark! Check it out if you can!!
