One day, while standing in the Cooperstown National Baseball Hall of Fame with his son and grandson, a grandfather exclaimed ... "every kid in America should have the opportunity to play baseball in Cooperstown!" The Dream lived on in the 5-year old grandson's mind with the boy and his father dedicating themselves to the cause of youth baseball.

In 1992 Lou Sr., the grandfather, passed away, but the dream intensified as Lou III, the grandson, became more determined to make his grandfather's dream come true.

Construction began in Spring of 1996 amidst some of the heaviest rainfall in Otsego County's history. Against all odds, construction crews and hundreds of other contractors committed themselves to the mission of Cooperstown Dreams Park. The determination of the workers, the blind faith of those inaugural year coaches, players and teams, and the dreams of the Presutti family to build Cooperstown Dreams Park, have opened the door for the youth of America to experience a baseball park unlike any other in the world.

Long live the spirit of Louis A Presutti ... his dream that every youth in America be given the opportunity to play baseball in Cooperstown.
