Hall American ODAT, DURING the telecast of the All-Star Game, there's bound to be one or more references to baseball's Hall of Fame tat Cooperstown, N.Y., and the people honored there.

The National Hiwhqii Hall of Fame and Museum as It Is officially known, was ded-lcated on June 12, 1939. The roster of baseball meats waa begun with the enshrinement, all at mice, of flvemen Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Christy Math-ewson, Walter Johnson, and Honus Wagner a bit of trivia that could win you a few bar bets. Today that roster has grown to Include hundreds of names, and the museum has expanded to encompass all sorts of memorabilia associated with the sport Some pathetically addicted people have even made a point of traveling clear across the country to Visit fills temple constructed for the hopelessly romantic those who manage to function Bomehow In the adult world out their sandlot People like me, for example. 1 HAD ALWAYS wanted to visit file Hall of Fame, and a few years ago I decided to do something about It I flew to Manhattan, rented a car, and drove to Cooperstown. It was a trip filled with quiet sur-.

prises. One was the discovery that upstate New York Is very beautiful and very deserted. I drove fermUes and through lush countryside, without seeing a single umall town or even a place to get a morning cup of coffee. In California, we take It for granted that there'll be a diner or coffee shop at virtually any freeway off-ramp, but about the only thing youll feast on for the first hour out of New York City environs Is scenery. Cooperstown Itself specifically, the near-perfectton, the remarkable rightness of It for the role It plays.

If a a gorgeous little town that seems to have been designed by -a commltteemade -up of Mark Twain, Norman Rockwell, and your gandb-ther. Tree-lined streets, brick buddings with white and a relaxed, Saturday-aftemoon-tn-the-bkachera aura overthe Whole place. The museum Itself Is -equally low-key, a comfortable assemblage of rooms through which the viewer can wander at a leisurely pace, studying exhibits that set the memory-dock to I aaw Babe Ruth's locker, and watched the tape of Ab- bott and Costello's classic' Whos On tint? routine that runs In the lobby.evny 15 minutes. I saw the most valuable baseball card in the world the Honus Wagner cigarette card thathe caused to be withdrawn because he was opposed to smoking and the bat that Bobby Thomson used to hit file Shot Heard Round the World in 1951. There Is nothing sensa-donal about the Cooperstown museum: If a dreamy place, a tangible array of intangibles.

Memories under the lights. Nostalgia In glass IYe taken lots of trips to lotsofplacealnniy lifetime, but none was more quietly rewarding than the trip to Cooperstown.
