"All in a day"

Places my Dad and I went on our Fantastic Americana Road Trip to Cleveland > Cooperstown > Oil City > Mansfield are listed below (in reverse order). It was a great few days full of shakes and burgers at diners, good conversation and music while driving, and appreciation and perspective while at the Rock & Roll and Baseball hall of fames.

Perhaps the most surprising moment...the wall of no-hitters at Cooperstown had about 100 baseballs from no-hitters, a few other pieces of memorabilia and one jersey. The jersey was from Terry Mulholland worn during his no-hitter on August 15, 1990. Amazingly, we were at this game 20 years ago! The one Philadelphia Phillies game I've been to in my life was with my family when I was 7 and happened to be a no hitter. 20 years later that happens to be the one jersey on display worn during a no-hitter now frozen in time in Cooperstown.
