From Funghi Formaggi To Veggie Panini, Via Tuna Sandwich

occa has always been one of my favorite places to dine in Cooperstown! If it’s really nice out, they have outside seating, just perfect for lunch and warmer nights.

If you want to a different kind of appetizer, order the Tonno. It’s a grilled ahi tuna on a toasted guacamole crostini then topped with

corn salsa and wasabi cream.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it! The Calamari Fritti is delicious as well, it’s served with hot cherry peppers that add a nice spiciness to the calamari.

For the kids, they have a great menu that spans from chicken strips to rigatoni to pizza (made right at your table). But for the adults…

you’ve got to try the Risotto Alla Pescatora. They take shrimp and scallops, roast them, add in spinach risotto and wait for it…toss it in a white truffle cream sauce!

Simply delicious.

Bocca has an authentic pizza oven direct from Italy that cooks your pizza in minutes. My favorite?

Game-Used Items Hot, Says Proprietor REDONE/From Pg. 3 I couldn’t afford them back then!”

Those days are long past, and one by one, Carfagno bought out other stores and others went away, turning Seventh Inning Stretch into a split-level baseball merchandise empire. “We have Cooperstown Connection stores in Syracuse and Utica,” he said.

This past February, Carfagno closed the shop for two months for a complete renovation, including replacing the carpet with vinyl flooring, Mariano replacing Rivera lighting fixtures and swapping out the old slat walls for mahogany, and putting the finishing touches on the upstairs room.

“It’s something we’ve always wanted to do,” he said.

“We were going to do it last year, but we ran out of time, so we put it off. This year, we decided to just do it.”

They finished just in time for Memorial Day, the start of the season. “People seem really happy with it,” he said.

But Carfagno doesn’t just sell cards anymore. “People collect anything that has to do with the game,” he said.

“We have seats and bricks from old Yankee Stadium, prints – we even have dirt!”

Among those items for sale is a handwritten letter from Ty Cobb to a fan in 1934. “I always feel honored that someone should wish my name as an autograph,” he wrote.

Fans these days, he said,

Carfagno shows off a print that hung in George Steinbrenner’s old office at Yankee Stadium. “I remember seeing it in his office,” he said.

Carfagno has a wall of antique cigarette cards – including a $4 Honus Wagner! But don’t be fooled – it’s a replica.

are looking for game-used items, including bats, balls and jerseys. “We just got

What do you get the Red Sox fan who has everything? How about a piece of Fenway Park?

Aaron Judge’s spring training jersey,” he said.

Carfagno also knows that,

more than the cards or the hat, fans want the experience meeting a player.

“If you want to meet Ozzie Smith, this is the place,” he said. “I want to bring guys who care about their fans, who will shake their hands and take pictures with them. To me, that’s what Cooperstown is all about.”

Carfagno himself isn’t above getting star-struck.

“I’m like a little kid when these guys come in,” he said. “I just sit there thinking ‘I can’t believe I’m here next to this person!’” he said. “When Whitey Ford came here, I told him all about watching games with my dad, and he had tears in his eyes. He wanted to come here, and this was the only place he would sign for ten years.”

As such, he’s built a loyal customer base.

“People come in and tell me they want a Yankees hat,” he said. “They could buy it anywhere in the world, but they want to buy it from me.”

And though he sells plenty of cards, the culture of card collecting has changed. “People will buy packs, look through for the cards they want and then give me back the ones they don’t,” he said. “When I was a kid, I used to make sets, but they don’t do that anymore.”

But those cards aren’t just destined for the recycling bin. He has put together “grab bags” filled with cards, 500 for just under $20.

“Parents buy them for the kids for the car ride home,” he said. “And we throw some ’50s and ’60s cards in there, stuff they wouldn’t normally see. It shows the hobby, the history. It’s great when you get a dad in here showing his kid how to collect.”
