I'm pretty sure it is still there..can't say for certain. They move things from time to time and rotate things in and out of public view, so maybe you caught them on an off-day?

I remembered one thing that I loved/hated seeing at the same time, the Buck O'Neil statue near the front door. It's great that they put the statue there for him and named the lifetime achievement award after him, but at the same time, I remember how mad I and about a few thousand others were when they named all the Negro League inductees and he wasn't among them.
