You can't top the Cooperstown all around experience. I coached a team and stayed in the barracks one year and was a parent two years later. Had a blast both times and would do it again if I could. The experience for the kids where they're separate from their families and treated to 24x7 baseball in a safe environment is so unique. They get to joke around with the umpires in the mess hall between games as they are a part of the experience, unlike what happens during the season. You realize how much those guys love the game and the kids. Some umpires from our area in Georgia would always interact with the team whenever they saw us.
You get to live in this little baseball bubble for a week, and unless you experience it, it's hard to describe. The pin-trading was insane and the wiffle ball games and shower tag and other things they think of to pass the time with their friends and other baseball-minded boys is just special. Can't get that staying in a hotel room with your parents at a normal tournament, even if it's in a cool area with lots of things to do. Not saying those tournaments are bad as they generally are not. They just don't deliver that special kid-focused experience they get at Cooperstown.
