I played in three or four Hall of Fame Games, and the last two y ^ I’ve come back to work for ESPN during Hall of Fame Weekend and I really enjoy it My dad came here for a visit in 1947 from a little town in Michigan, he was an avid basebafl fan. and told me a lot about the Hall o f Fame,\ Kaat said. “My first time was in 1966,1 was with the Minnesota Twins and we were here for a Hall o f Fame Game against the S l Louis Cardinals. Ttie irony o f that visit was the C a rding < ^ e d up a tall left-handed pitcher from Efouble A named Steve Carlton to pitch m that game. Two y ^ r s ^ o I came here to working for ESPN to interview him on his induction, so that was kind of neat” According to Kaat, all big league games should be canceled during Hall of Fame Weekend so teams could be in CooperstovATi for die festivities. \1 wish there was a way that base ball could shutdown during the induction ceremonies and that each team would fly their teams in here. They would get a private showing and everybody would get to tour the museum and meet the Hall of Famers,” Kaat said. \I dtink they would be a little more sensitive to how they should conduct them selves, and 1 think also they would really get an understanding of what this game has meant to our country.” Even the two to never have worn a major league uniform - Boeheim and Fehr - claim to have a special affinity for this small village in the Leatherstocking Region. “Pve been to Cooperstown before to play golf,.,its a nice lidle town. I also remember coming to Cooperv town while in high school like every body else,” said -Boeheim, who bro u ^ t his team to (he national cham pionship game this past season. “I like baseball hut I think everybody had been put o ff a little bit by baseball’s problems over the last few years.” Teams from throughout fhe East Coast played with a celebrity in a Sve-mait scramble format.

For goalkeeper Kasey Keller, 26, beiog one o f the players die U.S. Soccer Federation selected as part o f a rale dtat allows each countiy to place three older players on its Olympic team gives him a chance to realize d ie forill o f a lifetime. “It’s a thrill for most athletes to play in die Olympics. Obviously it’s n ot the ratal pinnacle o f stKxer, but representing y our country at any level is something that obviously w e’re all looking forward to doing and hopefully w e can do it to the best o f our abilides,”’ Keller said. According to forward Miles Joseph, 22. the speed at which every thing is g oing by is a little amazing. “It’s a once in a lifetime expert- mr:: lime and 1 just wanted to make sure eveiyone kept their concentration,” Keller said. “So much o f goaBceeping is mental and the key for me is to make sure that I stey in the game. One way for me to do that Is to mate sura that eveiyone else staying in die game. What I want to d o is I want to play a game as mistoke free as po®i- ble, and if I can go through a game and have my only real mistake where I Mcked a punt our o f bounds. I’m pretty happy about dial.” Former Hartwick star Glen Myemick, currently the U.S. team’s assistant coach, held the coaching duties S unday because head poach Bruce Arena was coaching the D.C. United in a Major League Soccer game. “It’s wondeifol to be back in Oneonm. I haven’t been here since our family left here about four and a friends here, it’s a great soccer town, and I’m delighted to come back,” Myemick raid ‘^OvsmllTwasvBi^ I pleased widi (he Of our tel because the other tdgm vre South Africa and we were winning % I 0 and then we tirade a fo w m ista^ | and e n ^ up wid) a 2*2 de.

We’ve been moving around a lot, hut the spirits are still real good on the team and it’s going to be worth it because in a month we’re going to be d own there playing,\ Joseph said- The U.S. team opens Olympic play against Argentina on July 20 at Birmingham. AL. followed by matches against Tunisia and Portogal. \It’s a monster draw and we need to go into that knowing that it's going to be very difficult,\ Keller said. Kirovski doesn’t think the hot and humid weather expected in the south during the Olympics should hinder his team’s efforts. “We have a tough, tough group in our draw. Argentina’s one of the strongest teams in the toumamenL and Portugal is one of the strongest teams in Europe. Hopefully we will get out o f our group,” lOfdvsId said. “It will b e pretty h o t down there, but we’re used to it. W e’ve played the li^t three games (two i n Ekhmond, VA. and one in S t Lomis, MO) in pretty hot weather.” According to Joseph, the team has to ihtnlt about getting past Argentina before thinking about winning any medals. “All the t^ m s are t o u ^ in our draw.
