Baseball Hall of Fame 2 of 10: America's Game

"America's Game," the second of 10 GREAT MUSEUMS webisodes featuring The National Baseball Hall of Fame, uses footage from the shoot for the original episode "Home Base."

Each webisode explores a unique aspect of the legendary museum in Cooperstown, NY with never before seen footage. Watch now and in less than 5 minutes, you will discover the baseball lingo to describe presidential election in which Abe Lincoln won; 19th century games played with only one ball; obsessed fans of the 19th century; a description of the Baseball Hall of Fame contents; the early dress of baseball players (flannel worn in the heat of summer!); and the baseball clubs of yesteryear, including the New York Knickerbockers!
