Root, Root, Root for the Home Team

Did you know that the Library of Congress has some of the best baseball-related collections you can see anywhere, perhaps outside of Cooperstown itself?
It’s true: The nation’s library is home to quite a trove of memorabilia about the national pastime.
To help celebrate the opening of the new Nationals Park in just a few days right here in Washington, we have collected many of our baseball resources in a single thematic portal called “America’s Pastime.” The site includes audio and video, historical photographs, a baseball time line, a feature about the song “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” and other great materials.

Hmm, have been using your library for couple of years and never saw the material regarding baseball. Thanks a lot for the link
