ALL STAR MOMENTS

PIN TRADING

Pin trading is an activity that players look forward to while at Cooperstown All Star Village. We recommend each player bring enough pins to trade (75-100 pins) with all the other teams, umpires, our staff, and local merchants.

Once on campus, we offer unique pins, pin towels, and pin bags in the Cooperstown Gear Shop to add and display your collection.

Pro Tip: During your trip to the Hall of Fame, or while visiting the shops in Cooperstown, be sure to bring a few pins to trade with players from other camps in the area.

TEAM SPIRIT AWARD

To kick off the week, teams parade into Field 5 for Opening Ceremonies and are greeted by their loudest supporters. One chosen fanbase will receive the Team Spirit Award for showcasing their support and creativity through outfits, signs, chants, and more. Judges will be positioned in the outfield to identify and award our champions.

Please note: Throwing objects, confetti, and streamers is not allowed
