Join us in a virtual opening celebration of the new exhibition ¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues / En los barrios y las grandes ligas. The exhibit takes visitors on a journey into the heart and history of U.S. Latino baseball. Extraordinary stories demonstrate the impact of baseball within Latino communities across the nation as well as how Latinas/os have influenced and changed the game for over a century. In this digital tour curators provide a special behind-the-scenes look that will immerse viewers in the truly memorable stories and artifacts on display.
