BATTER UP!! The excitement of the game begins with the first pitch, right here in New York City. At 11am our program begins with our departure for Yankee Stadium and an afternoon game beginning at 1:05pm. With great seats, free popcorn, suite access and an exciting game between the Yankees and Cleveland Indians, our Baseball Lover’s Dream Weekend will be a HOME RUN, “right off the bat”. Tonight we’ll board our team bus again and take you to the other side of this subway series as we head to Citi Field for a special baseball themed Welcome Program and Dinner. (D)

Before you know it, we’ll be enshrined in Cooperstown for an afternoon of baseball bliss. An included lunch will be followed by an afternoon of time to explore the Hall of Fame itself, and all the surrounding baseball venues that make Cooperstown such a hit. Enjoy a game at Doubleday Field, shop for Topps trading cards, order a personalized engraved Louisville Slugger…and keep your eyes open for a true Famer himself. You never know.
