Baseball As America runs at MNS from Sept. 28, 2007 – Jan. 13, 2008. Its purpose is to educate and inform visitors about the many ways in which this national pastime mirrors and influences the always-evolving American culture. Some artifacts in the exhibition include a ball pitched by Cy Young in the first World Series in 1903, legendary broadcaster Harry Caray’s eyeglasses, the world’s most famous baseball card, and historic photographs and artifacts from Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Joe DiMaggio and a host of other heroes.
