Celebrate Mom at the Baseball Heritage Museum

Kick off Mother’s Day weekend with us. Kids- come make baseball themed crafts to show all the moms in your life how much they mean to you.

A Family storytime  with a reading of the  book Mama Played Baseball by David A Adlerwill begin at 2:00 pm.

About the book: Amy’s dad is away, fighting in World War II, and her mama must take a job. But it’s no ordinary job–Amy’s mother becomes a baseball player in the first professional women’s league! Amy cheers louder than anyone at all of the home games. And while Mama’s team travels, Amy works on a secret project–a surprise for her dad when he is finally back home.
With warmhearted, historically based text and lush illustrations, award-winning author David A. Adler and talented new artist Chris O’Leary bring to life the soaring spirit of the 1940s. Featured in the major motion picture A League of Their Own, the All-American Girls Professional League helped women prove that no war could stop the great game of baseball.
