Peyton Manning Sighting at Cooperstown Dreams Park!

Legendary football player Peyton Manning was unexpectedly sighted in the tranquil setting of Upstate New York. Why, you ask?

Cooperstown, known for attractions like the Baseball Hall of Fame, Ommegang Brewery, and notably, the Cooperstown Dreams Park, attracts young baseball enthusiasts nationwide. Here, 12U teams vie for the top spot in week-long tournaments.

Residents view the summer months as an ideal time for employment, with jobs ranging from capturing field moments to manning concession stands. And occasionally, one might bump into celebrities. This was Evan's experience. In a place where baseball stars might be anticipated, encountering a football icon like Manning is a rarity. Evan's thrill was evident when his grandfather, Richard Polizzi, proudly shared their selfie on Facebook, quoting, "My grandson Evan works at Dreams Park in Cooperstown. He got to meet Peyton today!"

It's speculated that Peyton’s visit could be related to his son Marshall, who recently turned 12, possibly participating in the tournaments. Another interesting note: Cooperstown Distillery boasts a unique Peyton Manning autographed football decanter, available exclusively on the Football Hall of Fame's website. Maybe Peyton was adding to his collection?
