BASE: Be A Superior Example

This signature museum program is designed to give kids a chance to get active and learn more about the importance of fitness, nutrition, and character for athletes at all levels. This activity is outside and weather permitting.

Baseball and the Greatest Generation

When America went to war in 1941, baseball pitched in. In this museum theater program, learn about the Major Leaguers who left baseball to serve their country, how baseball provided a welcome diversion on the home front, and how thousands of fans turned out to see women play in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

Building Ballparks

Making Airwaves

The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, it’s going, going, gone! This interactive program allows visitors to recreate and record the dramatic homerun call of Hank Aaron’s 715th home run. Fun for the whole family!

Mining for Talent Interactive Cart Activity

Drop by our cart on the second floor and test your ability to sift through data and identify baseball talent. Hall of Fame staff will present you with several scouting reports of some of baseball’s all-time greats, with one catch: all details identifying each future star will be removed. The challenge: choose future stars to build your team around. This program is free with museum admission.
