“I grew up playing in Cooperstown, Cooperstown Dreams Park,” Harper said. “It was kind of like the travel ball place to go, kind of like Williamsport. It was a little bit of a different level. But it’s pretty cool. They do 12 weeks and 100 teams come in each week, and that was kind of our 12-year-old summer. I played there five times, and being able to do that during the summer time was a lot of fun for all of us. Hopefully we can go to Cooperstown.”

That would be pretty cool for Harper to go from playing in Cooperstown as a kid to doing it again when he’s in the pros. We’ll see if Harper’s suggestion ever comes to light.

“I think it’s pretty cool being able to play in different areas, different countries, and I think the next one we were all talking about would be a Hall of Fame game,” Bryce Harper said, according to a tweet from Alex Coffey. “We think that would be pretty cool. On Hall of Fame weekend. Build up Doubleday Field a little bit. It’s a smaller park.”
