Optional buying links

Uniform Shopping Options

For families still shopping, here are example options shared with the team:

Tips Shared by Team Families

These are practical parent-to-parent tips shared by families currently at Cooperstown. Treat them as helpful field notes, not official Cooperstown rules.

Allergy Safety

No Nuts / No Sunflower Seeds

A team family shared that one player has a severe peanut and tree-nut allergy, and asked that sunflower seeds also be avoided. Please do not bring or share peanut butter, peanuts, tree nuts, sunflower seeds, or sunflower-seed snacks around players or team areas.

Cold Weather

Navy Undershirts

It may be cold during Cooperstown week. If players wear an undershirt, the team should all wear the same color: navy. This is an optional example shared with the team, not an official Cooperstown requirement: navy undershirt option.

Opening Morning

Parking & Bags

Opening morning can be chaotic. If possible, arrive the day before or early enough to secure nearby parking. Bunkhouse move-in does not open until later, so parking close helps avoid dragging bags around for a few hours.

Player Fun

Pins & Cards

Pin and card trading is a big part of the Cooperstown experience. If your player has rare or favorite pins, consider keeping one or two aside for family keepsakes before the trading starts.
