All,
For those in the SoCal area, the Natural History Museum located in Los Angeles currently has an excellent baseball exhibit on display. The touring exhibit, entitled "Baseball as America" has over 500 artifacts on loan from the Baseball Hall of Fame. I have never been to the Hall, so having it come to town was a must see. A few of my favorite items on display was the T206 (ungraded) Honus Wagner card (donated to the Hall by Barry Halper), Jackie Robinson's rookie uniform, Babe Ruth's bat used to hit his 60th homerun, Shoeless Joe Jackson's cleats and the ball that was salvaged from the World Trade Center. The only drawback was no photography equiptment was allowed.
The exhibit runs until December 15th. Admission is $8.00, but is well worth it. More information can be obtained from www.NHM.org.
Regards,
