Baseball: Researching the National Pastime

A University of Oregon Libraries Exhibit

During Spring term 2004, the exhibit cases in the Knight Library feature an exhibit on the sport of baseball, which has been called "America's National Pastime." The exhibit highlights materials available in the library's colections and in the University archives, and features a research project undertaken by one of the authors along with a history of varsity baseball at the University and a tribute to baseball fans. The exhibit was put on on April 2, and will be up until June.

The background music playing in the exhibit corridors is from the original soundtrack recording from "Baseball," a film by Ken Burn and the motion picture soundtrack from "Little Big League".

This web site is still under development and will have material added over the coming days.
