Baseball As America
February 15 - May 11, 2008
Since the often-dubbed “great American sport” first took shape in this country, baseball and America have mirrored the same values, responded to the same events, and grappled with the same social and economic issues. From February 15 through May 11, 2008, the National Constitution Center will host Baseball As America, the first major exhibition to examine the relationship between baseball and American culture. The 5,000-square-foot exhibition is organized by The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, and marks the first time the treasures of the Hall of Fame have left their legendary home to tour the country.
