leopard88 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 That Philadelphia to DC leg is going to take you right through Baltimore. It would be well worth your time to take a pit stop for a crabcake or, time permitting, actual steamed crabs. Also, if you're keeping with the sports theme, Camden Yards, M&T Bank Stadium, the Sports Legends at Camden Yards museum and the Babe Ruth Museum are all a short walk from the Inner Harbor and/or less than a mile off of I-95. Finally, sticking with the HOF theme, the Lacrosse Hall of Fame is about 15 minutes from the Inner Harbor, adjacent to the Johns Hopkins University campus.Babe Ruth Museum/Sports Legends at Camden Yards(they're operated jointly, thus the shared website)Definitely...the Sports Legends at Camden Yards Museum is definitely worth the price of admission. Covers the Colts, O's, Ravens, U. of Maryland, among other teams/sports. Been there twice, and would gladly go there again.The National Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta is also a good bet. I was kind surprised by how small (ie. it's really one big room with sections, an upstairs interactive zone, and gift shop, but if you love soccer, you'll definitely enjoy it. I know I did. I went to the National Baseball Hall of Fame when I was 10, and I had alot of fun, but that was like 15 years ago. I'd love to go back as and experience it now that I'm an adult, and was tempted to when I made the trip to Oneonta last month. Unfortunately, just ran out of time. Have fun!I almost forgot -- try not to get a speeding ticket while you're driving through Maryland.

It doesn't really accomplish what I wanted--especially adding new states to my map--but it's still a bit ambitious.

leopard88 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Two things --1. My son's soccer coach told us last night that the league is having a Blast night some time soon. It might be the same night you're in town, but I'm not sure.2. I'm not sure what route you planned to take from Cooperstown to Baltimore, but I would recommend taking I-81 to Harrisburg, then going down I-83 to Baltimore. That way you avoid Philadelphia and I-95 traffic -- and about $10-15 in tolls.Other than that, it sounds exhausting but fun.

I'm glad to see Google Maps followed my advice on the "Reverse Cal Ripken (and Robinson (x2), Palmer, Weaver, Murray, for that matter)" leg of the journey.I almost forgot, I would recommend the Dunder Mifflin tour while you're in the Scranton area.

Eh, I dunno. Stumble out of the hotel by about 10, spend a couple hours at the soccer hall, drive up to Cooperstown, basically close the place, then drive to Baltimore. It's a late arrival in Baltimore, sure, but then I'll have most of the day on Friday to see the place, maybe get a non-alcoholic beverage with a teetotaling lawyer type or something.

II football game to your sports whirlwind tour if they are.Going to a Chiefs game? Two things: first, I used to be their PA announcer (early 90's), and second, you've simply GOT TO walk down the street after the game and stop into SCOTT'S BY DAM. Sit down, have a beer, and order one of their big honkin' tacos. It's a hole in the wall, but when you see the size of the taco, you'll thank me.

That will add a little driving time to that leg.By the way, I think "teetotaling lawyer" may qualify as an oxymoron. Some of us just consume a lot fewer adult beverages than we used to.

-kj Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Yeah, it wasn't ideal, but apparently the hotels are a bit lacking in Oneonta and Coooperstown or something, so I ended up with a good deal on a place in Albany. I'll just have to wake up a little earlier than drive into Cooperstown first that day, then on to Oneonta, and then Baltimore.It's not like you're a marketer, where it's a two-drink minimum.
