  • Who Was Jackie Robinson?
    Who Was Jackie Robinson? July 23, 1962: National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Cooperstown, New York Jackie Robinson stepped up to a mic, not home plate. He wore a suit and tie, not a baseball uniform. At forty-three years old, Jackie had been retired from the Brooklyn Dodgers for five years. Yet the crowd cheered as loudly as if he’d 1 just hit a World Series home run. Jackie felt proud and grateful. Growing up, he Jackie faced the smiling crowd. About two never thought something like this could happen thousand people had gathered on Main Street in to him. He thanked everyone: “all of the people,” Cooperstown, New York.

  • Jackie Robinson Signing Autographs on the First Day of Spring Training with the Brooklyn Dodgers, March 6, 1948, Donated by Corb
    Jackie Robinson signing autographs on the first day of spring training with the Brooklyn Dodgers, March 6, 1948, Donated by Corbis There are people whose contributions to baseball history went far beyond mere batting averages or stolen bases. They didn’t just play the game, they changed the game. For generations of American Jews and other minorities, they served as athletic, cultural, and ethical role models. In March, the National Museum of American Jewish History (NMAJH) opened a groundbreaking new exhibition highlighting these game changers and—just as importantly—the fans, ideals, and culture they inspired. Chasing Dreams: Baseball and Becoming American is the first large-scale exhibition to use the story of Jews and baseball as an opportunity to highlight ways in which our national pastime is part of the history, and ongoing story, of how immigrants and minorities of many different backgrounds—including Italians, Asians, Latinos, African- Americans, and many others—become American, to feel a part of the society in which they might otherwise be on the margins. The exhibition isco-curated by Dr. Josh Perelman, chief curator and director of collections and exhibitions at NMAJH, and Ivy Weingram, associate curator. It will be on view at the Museum through October 26, 2014. With major support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, in close collaboration with Major League Baseball, and featuring important loans from the Baseball Hall of Fame, Chasing Dreams features more than 130 original objects, including game-worn uniforms, game-used objects, correspondence, newspaper accounts, board games, awards, baseball cards, signed baseballs, Jewish ritual objects, ballpark giveaways, stadium seats, Little League memorabilia, and more.
