, new york, which is why the baseball hall of fame is in cooperstown. baseball historians discovered that was basically a fiction created to further this myth of a kind of rural virtue because in cities -- cities were considered dirty and messy and full of immigrants and all that, this noble game could not possibly have really had its roots there. so they devised this history and it carried the day enough to get the hall of fame built in cooperstown, but, in fact, now even the hall of fame itself has acknowledged that it was pretty much made up. >> what is thought to be the actual origins? do you know? i don't know. >> yeah, there's a wonderful guy named john thorn who is a fantastic writer, who is the official historian of major league baseball who wrote a book called "baseball in the garden of eden" and it traces the early years of how the game itself developed. and, in fact, it developed from many games, some of which are english games like not only cricket, but rounders. and there were different versions played in different areas. a lot of it was in

this was a collaboration the library did with major league baseball, espn and baseball hall of fame in cooperstown. we've got incredible things on display, things you've probably never seen before. let's start with some of the earliest. so right now we're standing in the front of the exhibit looking at origins and early days where we've got some interesting artifacts that suggest that baseball has a history that's much longer than the 19th century. in fact, we've got an example from a medieval manuscript. these are little miniature figures that are part of the border of a book produced in 1344. you can see we've got a monk and a nun with a ball and bat and a couple monks and nuns in a primitive outfield. what this shows you is bat and ball games were played for search rice before europeans began calling different kinds of games baseball. our next stop here is this cute little book i absolutely adore. it's one of the favorite items in our collections. it's a little pretty pocketbook from 1787, and it includes here a little wood cut drawing of children playing baseball with three posts. the word "ba

is a collaboration the library did with major league baseball, espn and the baseball hall of fame in cooperstown. today we're going to look at the second half of the exhibition, which looks at baseball fanatically, including the experience at the ballpark, the business of baseball, how immigrants and immigration have affected baseball, and the art and science of winning. this is our section on at the ballpark. this is an original fire insurance map. this shows d.c.'s original baseball stadium was in the heart of the urban community. you can see it's next to a number of businesses and residences. we have a college of dentistry, a hospital, and a lot of row houses here. and a lot of fans would often gather late in the day to sit on the roofs and watch a free game of baseball, but what these fire insurance maps do and we have them for a number of cities here in the library is show these stadiums are right in the midst of their community, they are not out in some pasture as we think about that with early baseball, and this map was updated in the early 20th century. another thing we're talking about

across the street here in cooperstown at the hall of fame and the national baseball library. now they didn't have the staff to go through all this stuff. they just sort of keep it and treasure it and preserve it for the baseball researchers primarily for members of the society for american baseball research. and these guys really went to work and they went card by card by card and they figured out what the black sox were making and and you got to have context. okay, so they were making something. well the numbers of what anyone was paid in 1919. where are pretty pathetic compared to what they're being paid now because the dollar is pretty pathetic now. but what were the black sox playing being paid then well? consider this the white sox finished sixth in 1918. okay. it was the war they had lost some guys other teams had lost guys too. so probably all even though but they they went from world champions in 1917 to sixth place in 1918 and yet and yet at the beginning of that season. they're going to have the third highest payroll that in the in the american league and at the end

parents, amy and herb, you're the coach of this team that worked hard to get to this tournament in cooperstown which is home of the baseball hall of fame and after two years of working towards this goal you find out the team can't go. explain why. >> we can't go because they are requiring a vaccine for kids 12 and older and it doesn't exist. they brought this new regulation on april 8th after we signed our paperwork and sent in all our money and the chances of all 12 kids getting the vaccine before we go in august is not likely so we decided to pull out. >> you've got to make a decision. how could you possibly go if the vaccine hasn't been approved. i understand you practiced, fund raised for two years to get to this tournament. how are you feeling? must be so disappointing. >> it is. everything we worked for is gone, it is not fair to everyone on the team. carley: i understand why you are feeling that. you are reaching out to folks involved in the tournament and you were told to talk to the team contact, the team contact is your husband. have you heard anything about why this decision was mad

mlb's headquarters are in manhattan, the hall of fame is in cooperstown. there's a lot in new york and new york still has restrictions when it comes to voting as all states do. what do you think about that? >> well, again, i think that these businesses in georgia are being hurt. small businesses across the country have suffered this year greatly because of this pandemic. i know firsthand my business was hurt. i actually got the disease a year ago. and i think we need to make sure that we come together on this and this is just driving a further divide between us. baseball should stick to what they do best and the they are not taking a moral high ground here. during that epidemic, the steroid epidemic years ago, home runs were being hit, people were waiting in long lines to get into the stadiums and the bottom line wasn't hurt. all of a sudden we're going to pull a game out. i think we need to come together as a country and baseball, we should be arguing what team is the best and work together for sure. jillian: yeah, i agree. a lot of people want to be able

why have the boston sports writers not incorporated him into cooperstown where he belongs? >> dominic was certainly one of the greatest advocates for his inclusion into the hall of fame. ted often lava for dominic, but i think that certainly a number of fires last prime year of their career. i love dominic as a player, i think in any kind of objective analysis of his career numbers, he probably belongs in the hall of very good rather than the hall of fame. do any of our panelist agree or disagree? >> i agree with that. it's also -- its not just boston writers that say this, its also national writers. >> simple question, who won the game between babe ruth all-star team and the pilots? >> that is all you girl. >> pilots. i won't tell you the score. but it's the pilots. >> if you are not gonna tells the score, give us a highlight moment in the game. >> oh, gosh. there are so many. i know at the very beginning they said there were over 100 photographers and reporters, they were there at the beginning and then when ted williams came out, and people weren't really sure if he was

why have the boston sports writers not voted dom dimaggio in cooperstown where he belongs? >> you know, dominic, and certainly one of the greatest advocates for dom's inclusion into the hall of fame was ted. ted often lobbied for dominic. but i think -- you know, certainly a number of players lost prime years of their career. i loved dominic dimaggio as a player. i think in any kind of objective analysis of his career numbers, he probably -- he probably belongs in the hall of very good rather than the hall of fame. do any of our panelists agree or disagree? >> i agree with that. it's also not boston writers that determined this. it's the national organization of baseball writers who determine who goes in the hall of fame. >> right. >> so we have a simple question. who won the game between babe ruth's all-star team and the navy pilots? >> anne, that's all you, girl. >> pilots. i'm not going to tell you the score. it was a fabulous game, but the pilots. >> you're not going to tell us the score, but give us a highlight moment in the game. >> oh, gosh. well, there's -- oh. i kn

team around america including south bay's cali baseball team, they make the yearly pilgrimage to the cooperstown dream park, offers a tournament, a camp and chance to visit the hall of fame. this year the event is requiring children over 12 to be vaccinated, a problem if you're under 16 because the fda has not approved a vaccination yet. >> we have to get a vaccine even though there is not a vaccine available to us. it's unfair. we've been looking forward to the tournament. we've been working really hard. >> a letdown. you're asking us to do something we can't comply with right now. >> the event will provide a full refund for the teams that cannot go, provided they decide by monday. in a statement organizers say our plan is the only responsible course of action at this time to prevent the possibility of a camp shutdown and displacement of families due to covid-19. >>> a hometown boy making good and making some noise for the golden state warriors. last night in cleveland, oakland's own juwan toscano anderson gave the dubs a boost. he scored a career high 20 points and a lot of that came when the
