Abstract
This study explores what happens when baseball and public history collide at physical sites. It specifically examines corporate and vernacular exhibits and tours at six Major League ballparks and exhibits at the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum. I study these primary sources within the broader context of baseball history, nostalgia marketing, heritage tourism, and the relationship between public historians and corporations. My analysis adds to the sparse critical literature on sports public history.
