Rock and Roll Hall of Fame


Yes, we know this is a baseball trip. But we just couldn't visit Cleveland without a trip to the great Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We even altered our itinerary slightly in order to give it the time it is due.

As it turned out, one of this summer's exhibits is a tribute to baseball's role in music. From the old standby "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" to "Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball?" to Madonna's hit " This Used to Be My Playground" from the movie A League of Their Own, many songs have been written about and for the game of baseball. How lucky for us, that a side-trip (that we certainly would have taken anyway!) turned out to fit right into our theme! You can't write stuff like this! (Oh, I guess I just did!)



Cameras aren't allowed inside the actual museum, so these are all shots of the lobby.






I'm not usually the type to buy souvenir T-shirts, but this one I just couldn't pass up!





What a shame that San Francisco turned down the opportunity to have this amazing museum. It is a must-see, and , since the exhibits are constantly changing, I know a lot of people who would gladly be members and return again and again! It's a HOME RUN
