Thank you for such a nice tribute to mothers on Mother's Day. Free admission to moms, hearing about using pink bats on Mothers Day only and receiving a small pink bat as a souvenier was a great way to spend my mothers day. More

What I really liked is the history of Baseball. Liked looking at the bats that the old timers used in there day. The museum tour was worth the trip. HINT: park in the parking garage...fee for parking also. More

We went to this Museum right after we landed and spent less than 2 hours here. The history this small museum holds is great...
