National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum

On September 20-21, 2025, a group 40 BASE student-athletes and staff had the opportunity to visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY, and play on historic Doubleday Field. The players had an unforgettable weekend of baseball history and team bonding in a picturesque setting, all made possible through the support of our friends at the Yawkey Foundation.

Hall of Fame staff provided BASE youth a guided tour of the museum, including the powerful exhibit, “The Souls of the Game: Voices of Black Baseball”, which debuted in 2024. The exhibit explores the early history of Black baseball players, the success of the Negro Leagues, and the eventual reintegration of the sport. Our student-athletes were moved by the experience and gained a deeper understanding of baseball’s complex history, shaped within the context of America’s larger historical challenges and triumphs.

This was an experience our young people will never forget – Thank You to the Yawkey Foundation and National Baseball Hall of Fame!
