Be sure you start your visit with the movie and then wander throught the exhibits. Everywhere there will be something that makes you say 'Wow, look at this'. As a KC Royals (Brett) fan, I was determined to spend a lot of time near the 1976 to 1985 exhibits. I grew up with my dad playing baseball, later umpiring up to Minor League level, so the Hall was a complete thrill for me. I finally got to experience baseball like I had heard from him and friends for years. He played back in the 50's, so now I got to see what the use to talk about! The uniforms, the bats, the gloves and the deeds of the players. I just wish I could have touched some of the most famous items.
The Plaque room with all the members of the Hall is so cool. First you want to find the ones you came to see but soon you'll just explore and let them all come to you.
