Babe Ruth/Walter Johnson baseball exhibit ...

Just an FYI:

If anyone lives near Brea, Calif. in Orange County, and wants to see a piece of history, there's an exhibit coming up on Oct. 27 to celebrate the old barnstorming days and, in particular, a baseball game that was held in the 1920s featuring Walter Johnson and Babe Ruth.

There is a celebration commemorating the exhibit's opening at the Brea City Hall Park and Brea Museum. The celebration starts at 11 a.m. and there is an open house and refreshments. The address, if anyone is interested, is 495 S. Brea Blvd.

 

I'm only 3,000 miles away. Fuck.

 

Buckdubs is already waiting in line.

 

He probably provided the research for the exhibit.

 

I wonder if spnited was in attendance for the original game.

 

He threw out the first pitch.

 

You bet your ass I am.

I'm not in Brea, but it's close enough for me to zip over for this and make it to work on time that afternoon. So anyone else wants to drop by, come see me.

Here's more on the event: http://www.breamuseum.org/NewsEvents/tabid/137/Default.aspx

 

Damn, I missed that game.. family obligations and all that.
Now I'm 3,000 miles away.
Damnit!!

 

If only I lived in Tahoe ...

 

spnited was covering an Ivy League football game at the time when the stands were full.

 

FWIW, I found this item a little bit ago to post on the thread ...

 

Thanks for posting that, Claws. The history of baseball, any of it, never ceases to impress and draw me in ever further than I already am. What a game.
