sox-r-us Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I just got back from a wonderful vacation from DC (except for the return trip where we got stranded for 7 hrs on a flight at f***ing Waco Texas because of thunderstorms in Dallas, and had a sleepless night to get home thanks to American Airlines incompetency) and during my trip there, I obviously visited the Smithsonian Museums In the Museum of American History, they have a "Baseball and America" exhibit going on with very interesting stuff in there There was a very nice small sub section on Comiskey Park, before it was renovated to become the new Comiskey Park Thought I should share it with the rest of you...for anyone in DC or around it or going there for vacation, do try to get to the exhibit (it may get to Chicago too in some museum too or may have already been there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POTUSChris Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I think you're talking about the "Baseball As America" exhibit which was at the Field Museum in Chicago last year. It is a cool exhibit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Um, the New Comiskey Park is a whole new structure, which later became USCF. I was thinking the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFan Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Both exhibits are one in the same. It is a traveling exhibition, and if I'm not mistaken, will stop at the Smithsonian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live 30 seconds away from DFW. Storms are about the only time you don't hear planes. And sometimes even then you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
