About Cooperstown Connection

Cooperstown, NY is not only the birthplace of baseball, but also the hometown of Cooperstown Connection. For over 16 years Vincent Carfagno has been operating the original location just down the road from the Baseball Hall of Fame! The original location has evolved from a small hometown store of 500 square feet to what in now a 5,000 square feet super store. Cooperstown Connection can also be found in mall locations, including the prestigious Carousel Center in Syracuse,NY.

Through our passion and "connection" to baseball we have developed relationships with players and legends of the game who return for personal appearances and signings at our stores.
