What happens when two baseball fans sit down with coffee and a box of old baseball cards? Former sports journalist, Andy Bagnato, stopped by the Museum to swap some cards and what started as a little card trading quickly turned into memories of favorite players, old ball parks, and some things about baseball cards I never knew. We had so much fun that one reel isn’t enough so consider this part one of coffee cards and baseball because Andy and I have a lot more cards and a lot more stories to share and yes, he even found the rookie card of my childhood crush.

Baseball players have always played the same game, but they definitely haven’t worn the same gear! We are working on a new interactive “then and now” exhibit at the Arizona Baseball Museum, and some of these evolutions are pretty incredible. Which would you rather play in - then or now?

DID YOU KNOW?
On June 23, 1917, Babe Ruth started on the mound for the Boston Red Sox—but he didn’t last long.
After walking the first batter, Ruth argued with umpire Brick Owens, was ejected, and then punched the umpire!
Ernie Shore came in to relieve him. The runner was caught stealing, and Shore then retired 26 straight batters without allowing another man to reach base.
For decades, Shore’s performance was listed as a perfect game. Today, it is officially recognized as part of a combined no-hitter.
