Agree....the Braves museum in the new park is one of the best historical tributes across the majors.
And the Mets fans really enjoyed scoring 16 runs the night I was there.

I collect vintage Boston Braves items, so was thrilled to see pictures everywhere of the 1880s teams, with Ol' Hoss, King Kelly, Clarkson and all the rest prominently featured throughout the park, with pictures of Old Judge cards and more everywhere!
The part I liked the most was hearing fans looking and talking about what they saw - kids asking fathers about Ruth on the Braves, checking out 1880s Beaneater team pics and googling it to find out more about them - made me smile that there's hope for more kids to like the old stuff like us and not just the shiny stuff!
