Hall of famers

AUBURN - There are few boys who at one time or another haven't strapped on a glove or grabbed a bat and imagined themselves at home plate in a big league park, coming through with a dazzling home run or the winning pitch in a tight spot, securing their place of greatness in America's pastime and earning immortality in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

For six boys from the Auburn Little League, that dream took one step closer to becoming a reality when they made their way to Cooperstown with the Geddes All-Stars to test their skills alongside 95 other teams from around the country at Dreams Field in Cooperstown the week of Aug. 11 to 17 for the National Invitational Tournament.

Conor Herr, 12, Luke Drancsak, 12, Joe Schillace, 12, all students at Skaneateles Middle School were joined by Auburn natives, Matt Covich, 13, Nick Fiermonte, 13, and Matt Nolan, also 13.
