SUMMARY:Smithsonian Institution's Museum on Main Street Exhibit: Hometown Teams
DESCRIPTION:Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street Exhibit \nHometown Teams \nOctober 4 – November 10 \nMAIN GALLERY \nOur love of sports begins in our hometowns. We play them on ball fields and sandlots\, on courts and on ice\, in parks and playgrounds\, even in the street. From pick-up games to organized leagues\, millions of Americans of all ages play sports. Win or lose\, we yearn to compete and play another day. \nIf we’re not playing sports\, we’re watching them. We sit in the stands and root for the local high school team\, or gather on the sideline and cheer on our sons and daughters as they take their first swing or score their first goal. \nHometown sports are more than just games—they shape our lives and unite us and celebrate who we are as Americans. \nFIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS UNIQUE EXHIBIT HERE
