Cooperstown Baseball World (CBW) was founded in 1998 by Eddie Einhorn, Major League owner and current Vice Chairman of the Chicago White Sox. CBW's mission is to provide youth baseball players ages 10 to 16 an opportunity to play in weeklong tournaments in the Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame area.

It is the only tournament camp of its kind, owned and run by baseball professionals. It features tournament games, individual skill competitions, includes a visit to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and a taste of college life.

Games for the 12U and 13U age divisions are played on specifically built fields owned by CBW on the college property. The 14U, 15U and 16U games are played at the College of Oneonta's Varsity field, Damaschke Field (where Babe Ruth played in the 20s and Bernie Williams, Andy Pettite, Al Leiter and Jorge Posada played in the 80s and 90s and current home of the Detroit Tigers Class A team), and Oneonta High School.

Additionally, the main complex is equipped with four Major League batting cages as well as cages located at each off-site field. Each team is assigned their own team counselor who assists the team throughout the week.

Unlike other baseball camps, Cooperstown Baseball World emphasizes education both on and off the field.

On the field, CBW hosts their Individual Skill Competitions as if it were a pro or college try-out giving a young player the experience of what needs to be done to make it in the Major Leagues! All winners are awarded a personalized, laser engraved, miniature bat from the Cooperstown Bat Company.

During their week-long stay, our campers are exposed to college life. Through our partnership with the College at Oneonta, campers live in a college dormitory (with a staff of CBW Team Coordinators), eat in the college dining hall and have access to some of Oneonta's College's fine facilities. For many, this is the first time they have been away from home giving them a valuable opportunity to experience what the college world has to offer.

Playing near Cooperstown must include a trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame - here baseball fans, young and old, can learn about the chosen few who have those skills both on and off the field to be honored with baseball's highest honor. By learning about what it takes to be a Hall of Famer, goals are set high throughout a youth's baseball career lasting their entire life.

Other package amenities include a CBW commemorative ring, gift apparel item, pin, and water bottle.
