Mickey's Place in Cooperstown, NY

I recently had the opportunity to visit the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. One of the country's best-known sports shrines is located on Main St., in the heart of Cooperstown. Right down the street is Mickey's Place, a memorabilia shop with tons of authentic fitted caps. The selection is massive, carrying everything from current teams, minors, & of course classic Cooperstown wool fitteds. Loaded mostly with New Era, they also stock American Needle & Twins Enterprise. Check their site here for complete product listings.
