Our hands were stamped for readmission, if need be (and usually is, for it takes more than one day to see everything there is to see in there!):
The best 'starting point' for the Hall of Fame is their theatre, which shows a 13-minute multimedia presentation about the Game. It just sets the mood for the self-guided tour.

The Hall is packed full of just-plain-fun stuff, like this exhibit. You open the door, push the button, and inhale - the wonderful smell of fresh-popped ballpark popcorn:
(Smell-o-vision?)
Of course, there are famous documents:
(Jackie Robinson's letter of resignation)
... and paintings:
(Babe Ruth's Called Shot; I Wish I had written down the artist. The painting is beautiful!)
... and irreplaceable memorabilia:
(the cornerstone of Ebbets Field)
... as well as life-size sculptures:
(Roy Campenella catching, Harry batting, and Ian umping)
(pitching like Johnny Podres, almost)
... and famous quotes:
I live for this. :-)
