Field Museum unveils "Baseball As America" exhibit
In February 8, 2003 the world-renowned
Chicago Field Museum unveiled "Baseball As America,"
an exhibit dedicated to the legend and legacy of America's favorite
pastime. Feature items include a bat belonging to Babe
Ruth, Honus
Wagner's T206 baseball
card, Jackie
Robinson's #42 Brooklyn
Dodgers jersey and "Shoeless"
Joe Jackson's shoes. "See
the stuff of legends and discover how baseball embodies the
American spirit," the museum's Web site reads. "This exhibition
reveals how baseball mirrors our nation's values, struggles,
triumphs and aspirations."
In addition to holding prominent roles in the exhibit, Ruth
and Wagner are part of billboard advertisements around the city,
and promotional rack cards in hotels and tourism centers throughout
the Chicagoland area. Ruth is also featured in print ads which
are scheduled for 12 insertions in the Chicago Sun Times.
The National Baseball Hall
of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown,
New York, was instrumental in the organization process, providing
more than 500 treasured artifacts. This marks the first time
in history many of the items have been loaned out. "Baseball
As America" will run until July 20, 2003. For more information,
