In addition to the Hall of Fame’s Museum Preview Gallery, items from the Sports Heritage Collection have appeared throughout the Delaware Valley.
The Hall of Fame was the local subject matter expert and primary exhibitor at the Smithsonian Institute’s Sports: Breaking Records, Breaking Barriers exhibit at the National Constitution Center. The Collection was the lead exhibitor at both the National Constitution Center and The Atwater Kent Museum’s baseball exhibits. Currently items from the collection are on loan and available to view at Shibe Vintage Sports three area locations (https://shibevintagesports.com).
Select items from the collection were on display at the Hall of Fame’s annual Induction Ceremony and Reception November 7 at Live! Hotel & Casino. Included among these are the last bat Dick Allen used as a Phillie, a full set of tickets from the 1928 World Series, a 1929 World Series program, Willie Mosconi’s personal set of practice billiard balls, and the hockey stick used by Rick MacLeish to score the winning goal in Game 6 of the 1974 Stanley Cup Finals.
