Weekend activities – Part II
As part of our mini-vacation, Jason and I went to see the Baseball As America exhibit at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul.
We were both extremely excited about it since baseball is our passion, but I was positively giddy at the prospect of seeing old baseball memorabilia and photographs.
The exhibit was wonderful. Its layout was perfect; the floor plan easily led you through the displays and not once did you feel confused or have to double back to see if you missed anything.
I can honestly say it was the only museum exhibit where I read every single word on every single placard.
There were displays on segregation in baseball, women in baseball, the international impact of baseball, inventions from past to present, uniforms, and the evolution of equipment, bats, balls, etc. It was wholly entertaining and educational at the same time.
And it made me highly eager for Opening Day. Which is only 49 days away. Or so.
The History Center also gets bonus points for having an old-fashioned photo booth on the premises, which Jason and I took advantage of immediately.
