Cooperstown, New York 每 The ※Yakyu / Baseball: The Transpacific Exchange of the Game§ exhibit, now open at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, tells a sweeping, richly visual story about the deep and evolving connection between Japan and America＊s shared national pastime.
From the moment visitors enter, they are confronted with a suit of samurai armor presenting Japanese players as fiercely disciplined warriors across about 167 square meters in the museum＊s third?floor Guggenheim Gallery. The first exhibit in Cooperstown to focus on trans-Pacific baseball history, it spans more than 150 years, beginning in Japan＊s Meiji Era (1868 to 1912) and continuing to the present day.
