Posted By: <b>D Brown</b><p>I attended the opening and was really impressed with the material there. Great show design, fun stuff, a real window into what baseball and New York were like in the 1950s. A must-see, I'd say, with something for everyone. (Great NY Negro League stuff revolving around Jackie Robinson; amazing advertisements; Mays's silver slugger award, which was spectacular.)<br /><br />One highlight: Penny Marshall was there, along with the niece of one of the WW II-era female ballplayers. (I forget the player's name; there are a few artifacts from the WW II era, before the 1947-1957 stuff starts.) Nice to see the living link to history. (Not to mention the free Nathan's hot dogs and beer.)<br /><br />David<br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>That's a pretty cool idea, but we have to check museum hours, and we will be on 103rd and 5th. Any good restaurants we know of up there?<br /><br />Could also be a Saturday afternoon and a lunch.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Mike, that's a great idea. I know the area well (I go to the park a few blocks south at least once a weekend). I'm free after next week during the week; dates?

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>If we do it during the week the museum may close at 5:00. We have to check that. Does that work for you people with real jobs?

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I think it was from a Tom Robbins book. He's a bit of a cult writer if you are not familiar with him. I always thought that it was clever, so I stored it in the joke bank. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
