Ichiro Suzuki is making history as the first Japanese player to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. This momentous occasion is not just a milestone for Ichiro but a celebration of the deep-rooted connection between baseball in Japan and the United States.
The eyes of the baseball world will be focused on Cooperstown July 25-28, with the legends of the game in town to see history unfold during Hall of Fame Weekend.
Baseball in the United States and yakyu in Japan exist, and in fact prosper, as a result of the emergence of transpacific systems of exchange between the two countries over the past 150 years.
This exhibit will explore the wide-ranging exchange of baseball between Japan and the United States from the Meiji era to today and the transpacific circulation of baseball concepts, styles of play, fan experiences, equipment, and people that shaped the shared culture of the game.
Join us as we honor Ichiro and celebrate the game that unites us all.
