The museum is right across the street from Independence Visitors' Center and the Liberty Bell Plaza, which is where I ended up on July 4 (not the pool you ask? it was too chilly). The museum admission was free, so decided this was a good time to see the Baseball exhibit.
It is a sweet exhibit, with some interesting Jewish ball player lineages and a diagram of the diamond and field with the positions labeled in Yiddush.
But on the second floor is a booth to share stories. To get you started there is a video of two wonderful welcoming people giving directions in the most charming way-'You'll do great" the cheer you on.
The stories can be about history, family and of course Bezbawl. Here is the story I told

This blog began as a way to record my musings about preparations and travels to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada February 16-27, 2010. From that amazing experience came this ongoing story of becoming a sports fan. You can follow my tales of awe, agony, and all the emotions in between as well as view pics from seasons of Phillies baseball. Along the way is a little Eagles football thrown in for fun, and even some astronomy and weather related tales. I feel lucky to have witnessed some historic games, some heartbreaking losses, but all wonderful when told from this new fan's point of view.
