Amazing Baseball exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Library

Picture
When we started this site last year it was always our hope to bring you stories beyond the world of Theme Parks. At the beginning we did a pretty good job of that because we were just looking to get enjoyable content for you all to read. 
Over the past few months since it's been crazy busy with Theme Parks we've slipped on that a bit, hopefully this report will begin to fix that. 
if you are a baseball fan in any way, shape or form, you need to make sure you get up to the Reagan Library to check out this amazing exhibit. 

We have a LOT of pictures to get to today, so let's get started ... or shall I say PLAY BALL!!! 

The front of the Reagan Library, we are just going to be looking at the Baseball exhibit today, we'll take a look at the entire library in a future article. 

Picture
Baseball is the Great American Pastime despite not being the most popular sport anymore. I mean, when is the last time you heard of somebody taking a road trip to visit all NBA arena's? 
Picture
President Reagan was a sports announcer long before he was an actor, Governor or President. This is touched on a bit more in the main museum. 
Picture
"Atta Boy" arcade figure
Picture
Picture
Like any Baseball exhibit, a large number or baseballs are on display. Even Pete Rose is represented. 
Picture
Some great world series baseballs. I do have to apologize for some of the blurriness in some of the photo's, the museum doesn't have the best light for picture taking (understandably). 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Baseball bats for the President and First Lady. Wonder how many times Ronnie wanted to hit Oliver North over the head with this one? (Google it kids)
Picture
Picture
Some Hank Aaron memorabilia, still the rightful Home Run King. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
The main exhibit is in the National Treasures Gallery. if you are familiar with the library, this is the same location that the Lincoln and Disney exhibits were held in. 
Picture

Picture
When I first saw this I thought it was a pitching machine, turns out it's a Peanut cart.

"Temple Cup" lithograph

Picture
Being that the exhibit is in Southern California, a huge part of the exhibit was dedicated to the Dodgers
Picture

Leo Durocher's Blue Satin Coach's Uniform. Pretty flashy for the 1940's. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Lots of Dodgers Jersey's and Jacket's 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

They even had some cool Negro Leagues memorabilia. It's an equally amazing/sad part of the history of Baseball and our country. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
There is also a tent set up (where the spy exhibit was) that houses much more of the exhibit. 
Picture
Picture
Not sure why these banners are up, completely random other than them all being current or former NL teams (The Astros are now in the AL). 
Picture
Picture
More Babe Ruth
Picture
Picture
Picture
The exhibit features some FANTASTIC Jackie Robinson pieces
Picture
Picture
Picture
#42 now officially retired among all MLB teams after Mariano Rivera's retirement last year.

Some great tributes on how #42 paved the way for other players. If you were too young to experience "Fernando Mania" I apologize. 
Picture

Picture
Jersey's from some other all-time-great Dodgers
Picture
Picture
Luggage boxes
Picture
Some great scale models of classic stadiums. Fenway Park
Picture
Yankee Stadium (the good one)
Picture

No other sport has inspired more off the field entertainment than baseball
Picture

Picture
Baseball in the movies
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
I was kind of disappointed to see no references to Field of Dreams or The Sandlot, which I consider to be two of the greatest baseball movies ever made. 
Picture
Picture
That's going to wrap it up for this update. We hope you enjoyed this look at this amazing exhibit. This is by no means all that the exhibit has to offer but hopefully enough to satisfy our readers. You could easily spend a couple of hours just in this one exhibit. 

The Baseball Exhibit is open now through September 4th, so make sure you take some time to learn more about the boys of summer this summer.

Summertime in Las Vegas at MGM Resorts International

Picture
Our friends at MGM Resorts International have sent us the following information about summer fun going on at their Las Vegas resorts. If you are planning a trip you can't go wrong with any of their hotels and their amazing experiences. 

Picture
Cool water on a hot summer day and a kiss from a dolphin create a dream come true for Trainer For A Day participants at Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage. The program provides guests with the unforgettable experience of working alongside animal experts in the daily care and training of a family of bottlenose dolphins. 

Picture
Are you a feeding FIN-atic? 
If so, the Animal Encounters program at Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay will satisfy your need to feed. The experience takes guests behind the scenes to assist in feeding the attraction’s most-admired residents including stingrays, green sea turtles and zebra sharks.

Picture
Always in search of that next adrenaline rush? El Loco at The Adventuredome at Circus Circus Las Vegas is a gravity-defying coaster that leaves riders screaming for more with its unique negative G drops and over-the-edge twists and turns. This new thrill-a-second coaster is housed inside a five-acre theme park that stays a comfortable 72 degrees year round while the temp outside continues to rise. 

Picture
As soon as you catch your breath, head down The Strip to The Roller Coaster at New York-New York for another chance to throw your hands in the air and scream your lungs out. Guests experience exhilarating twists, loops and drops while reaching a maximum speed of 67 mph.

Picture
Step into a frozen wonderland in the desert at Minus5 Ice Bar at Mandalay Bay or Minus5 Ice Bar at Monte Carlo. Parkas, gloves and boots are mainstays in these interactive lounges made entirely of ice. Upon arrival guests are served ice glasses filled with exotic cocktails and are invited to relax on ice couches surrounded by intricately handcrafted ice sculptures, all in a cool minus five degrees Celsius environment.

Picture
Why cool down with an ice cube or two when you can touch an iceberg? Yes, an iceberg in the desert! Become a passenger and experience the story of the R.M.S. Titanic at Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition inside Luxor Hotel and Casino where a real piece of ice stands as a replica of the iceberg that sent the ill-fated ship to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. The exhibit also is home to authentic artifacts, dramatic room recreations and hands-on interactive experiences.
