Vintage Baseball Exhibit in Oakland
Posted By: Mark Macrae
For baseball fans, collectors & historians the long awaited "Baseball As America" exhibit opens on Saturday September 17 at the Oakland Museum. I previewed the exhibit last night, and as expected, the Museum did a great job with the presentation. The main exhibit is on loan from the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and has a modest selection of vintage cards (Including a T-206 Wagner), but the vast majority of the exhibit reflects how baseball has become a part of the American culture. In addition to the Hall of Fame exhibit, the Oakland Museum has added a number of local features including the PCL, local Negro Leagues, A's, Giants and more. Additionally there are two other baseball themed exhibits in the adjoining "California History" room. One is a Latin baseball photo exhibit, the other on local legend George Powles.......Also, Next Saturday (24th) , the 11th Annual Pacific Coast League ballplayers reunion will be at the same facility. A full day's event with more than two dozen players confirmed already. A chance to meet and talk with some of the guys whose cards you collect. Those of you living in / visiting Northern California can email me directly for more info on either event. |

I believe this is the same exhibit that was featured at the Museum of Natural History in NYC a couple of years ago, perhaps without the emphasis on California baseball history. It was really wonderful, focusing more on visual and historical material than on cards. A terrific show for sure. |

I saw it a couple years ago in Los Angeles. It is excellent for the history of different facets of the game - especially the integration of baseball. |

Is it a traveling museum, i.e., is there a list of scheduled cities? |

Great exhibit - I saw it in LA a while back. Unfortunately for everyone that's missed it, Oakland is the second to last stop, followed by Detroit. |
