  • Overview

    The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum will tell the story of baseball's most recent era in its Whole New Ballgame exhibit. The Museum's newest permanent exhibit, located in the Janetschek Gallery on the Museum's second floor, will feature more than 300 artifacts and Library items while exploring iconic moments like Carlton Fisk's home run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, game-altering rules changes like the designated hitter and labor challenges that redefined the fiscal boundaries of the sport. Featuring new video displays and the implementation of interactive elements not seen before at the Cooperstown shrine, Whole New Ballgame chronicles the changing nature of baseball from the 1970s to the present by examining the game and its culture as a whole.


    To allow for physical distancing, Museum capacity will be limited. Timed admission tickets are available for purchase online and will allow visitors to reserve a specific date and time to enter the Museum, alleviating congestion in the front lobby and throughout the Museum. Hall of Fame Members, who receive complimentary admission to the Hall of Fame, are given the opportunity to place their ticket reservation in advance of the general public.
