f you’ve ever wanted to hit a truck with a golf ball, then the Oneonta Sports Park is for you.

And if you’ve never felt the urge, that’s all right too – there’s still plenty to do.

With a driving range, ninehole par-3 course, mini-golf, disc golf, soccer golf, football golf and any other kind of golf that you can think of, this diamond in the rough is sure to be a hit with the whole

family.

Oneonta Sports Park owner Don Licari bought the park seven years ago to provide families with an affordable way to entertain the kids.

“I was probably this place’s best customer when I bought it,” he said. “I was here basically every day.”

As one of the park’s best customers, Licari didn’t want to see it go out of business.

See New Grandstand Theater, Film By Emmy Winner HALL/From Page 3 “The Lost Son of Havana.”

“It connects the players of today to the players of history,” said Jon Shestakofsky, VP/communications & education. “Jonathan is such an important figure in modern sports film, so we talked about what we wanted folks to experience as a welcome to the museum.”

With reflections from 19 Hall of Famers, classic game footage, an introduction by Hall of Fame board chairman Jane Forbes Clark and clips from “Field of Dreams” “Homer at the Bat” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” the 15-minute film is an entry point to the museum’s collections.

“The idea that someone could be forever linked to someone they never met – that’s baseball,” said Bob Costas in the film, comparing footage of Ken Griffey Jr. to Willie

The Hall of Fame’s newly renovated Grandstand Theater features comfortable seats and perfect acoustics, plus a new 15-minute introductory movie, “Generations of the Game,” by Emmy-winner Jonathan Hock.

Mayes.

“You realize you had an impact

on someone’s lives, you’re creating memories,” added Ozzie Smith.

“You think of these kids coming through, and this gives them an understanding of what they can be,” said Jeff Idelson, Hall of Fame president.

“It’s a powerful and enjoyable film,” said Shestakofsky.

But more than just a new film, the theater itself got a major makeover.

Gone are the wooden, stadiumstyle seats, replaced with cushioned auditorium seating, and the baseball field décor has been removed entirely in favor of a more contemporary theater look.

“The previous theater had been around for a long time,” said Shestakofsky. “It was a beautiful space, but it had a lot of limitations.

We knew we would benefit from a more modern facility.”

Hall of Fame Fun Peaks When 6 Stars Inducted July 29 HALL/From Pg. 5 ahead of the Hall of Fame Classic game, features a Dolby Atmos sound system, donated by Dolby Laboratories and a state-of-the-art projector from Christie Projectors. Fabric on the ceiling helps reduce echo, and small holes in the wood walls give the feeling of full surround sound.

“The acoustics in here are perfect,” said Shestakofsky.

The film will run at the top and bottom of the hour, and in between is a trivia reel. On the walls are two 16-foot video sideboards that correspond with the preshow trivia loop.

Previously, the theater had 194 seats, but five seats

have been allocated for wheelchair-accessible seating. “It’s been two years in the making,” said Shestakofsky. “And we want use it for more than just the welcome film. We’d like to use it for concerts and talks, and community groups are always welcome to use it.”

Grants from the Scriven and Clark Foundations helped cover the costs.

“There isn’t a theater like this within a hundred miles,” said Idelson. “This is the same technology as they use for the academy awards.”

After the film, visitors can stroll through the Inductees artifacts, as well as the rest of the museum, including new items in the Today’s

“There was a lot of buzz on social media about this, with people calling him a modern-day Babe Ruth. He’s one of the biggest MLB stories out there right now.”

“We’ve had two Hall of Famers who have died of ALS,” said Muder. “Obviously Lou, as well as Jim Hunter.”

With the development of Pete Frates’ “Ice Bucket Challenge” in 2014, ALS has once again become a talking point in baseball.

Frates, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2012, donated the bucket he used, as well as his glove, to be on display next to Gehrig’s bat and other ephemera.

As many as 50,000 visitors are expected for Hall of Fame weekend. “The metrics are looking good,” said Muder. “Four of the last five years have been all over 45,000.”

f you want to eat where the locals dine, get a table at the Autumn Café. Recently renovated, the menu is a hearty mix of classic favorites – including sandwiches on their famous café-made bread – and hearty new fare.
