Thread: Baseball as America exhibit

http://www.mnhs.org/exhibits/baseball/

I just thought I would post this since the exhibit closes March 4th and I had no idea it was even here is the Twin Cities until Just today. I figured there may be other big baseball fans on here would would find this exhibit as interesting as I did. I am glad I did not miss it, Cooperstown national baseball hall of fame is who is touring this exhibit.

Below are all the Minnesota related artifects at the exhibit...There are some pretty sweet items there if your a Twins fan.
