Let's Play Ball Exhibit Opening

The Museum will open a new exhibit: Let’s Play Ball on March 21, 2015 (there will be a special opening program at 1 p.m.). The display will include rare materials about local baseball teams from the Museum’s permanent collection, plus items borrowed from schools, historical organizations and private collections. Let’s Play Ball will depict aspects of semi-professional and professional baseball from the 1900’s to the present day. At least 92 teams existed at one time or another in San Mateo County. The exhibit will also feature professional players who grew up here and will honor players who have made the county their home after retirement. Included in the multi-media presentations will be films, photographs, historic equipment, uniforms, baseball cards, advertisements and rare signed souvenirs.

The San Mateo County History Museum is located at 2200 Broadway in Redwood City. Let’s Play Ball will run from March 21, 2015 until September, 2016. For information go to www.historysmc.org or call (650)299-0104.
