Just WOW!!!! Brenda and Todd were incredible! This is a great spot for any baseball officianados to visit, not just Naps/Spiders/Indians/Guardians fans. Some nice memorabilia and exhibits in what was one of the original buildings and it was neat there is 1 wall preserved as well. Was extremely excited to see some Larry Doby items on display. Not enough baseball fans know about him and his story. Some great stuff from the AAGPBL, looks like they are still building the collections as the 2nd visitor center has some room to grow around the original stairs and really nice mural. The highlight for me, outside the wonderful engagement I had with Brenda and Todd, the field is the same field as when the stadium opened. Albeit redone with modern turf... There is something really awesome about standing on the same mound as Cy Young, or in the batters box thinking about Ruth or Gehrig or Cobb or Speaker. I probably spent way to much time squatting behind home plate imagining those scenarios. This is a beautiful place and truly a must see if you are in the area. I hope it continues to grow and builds a nice legacy...

Todd is a wealth of knowledge and even taught my husband some things he didn’t know regarding the sport and his favorite team. Todd is 20/10 and I (not a baseball lover) left honestly so impressed and loved all that I learned....
Read moreMy wife and I had a great experience yesterday at the museum. We had the fortune of bumping into a guy on the street in Larchmere whose League Park t-shirt caught our eye. He introduced himself as founder of the museum, Bob Zimmer. He couldn’t have been nicer (gave us a signed book on East 4th Street) and we ended up at the museum. We were met by exuberant, knowledgeable docents, and Brenda, who showed us around, was an absolute joy. Her enthusiasm was infectious. We learned a lot and toured the field, and it capped a great day. All because we happened to bump into a guy wearing a...
