Now on display in Los Angeles lies the Baseball Reliquary, an art exhibit that eccentrically shows off some of baseball’s greatest stars. At the fore of the stadium stands a San Diego Chicken costume, a neglected cigar, and a baseball signed by Mother Teresa. Would you leave at first glance? There is always a saying, don’t judge a book by its cover. Especially this book, where its engulfing imagination could be a once in a lifetime experience.
The Baseball Reliquary represents the beauty of the wonderful sport of baseball. It presents its viewers with thousands of books, periodicals, journals, paintings, etc. all in honor of legendary baseball players. Examples include a portrait of Darry Strawberry, one of baseball’s greatest right fielders. But this portrait especially stands out because it is made from chewed bubblegum. Jackie Robinson’s (A legendary baseball player in 1954) collection is made up of numerous Robinson items such as his sponsors for the soft drink Coca-Cola, the cereal Wheaties, and even a documentary CD. There is even a set of baseball star bobbleheads, handmade and prodigal. “Fantastic,” said Bob Costas, the broadcaster of the exhibit’s website.
However, not every success starts perfectly. Since the pandemic hit, things have been difficult for the exhibition. In addition, Terry Cannon, one the most prized and adroit creators of the exhibit, died from cancer the following August 2020. Despite the travails, the hearty exhibit has never stopped lighting up with positivity. Instead of feeling depressed, Joe Price, one of Cannon’s close friends, decided to pass on Cannon’s legacy. The art, the unique additions, “Terry and I conceived and connived and advanced that,” Price said.
Despite the display’s positives, some people have shown disapproval for this. Nancy Faust, a retired Chicago White Sox organist, had to look up the exhibit when she got a call for induction in 2018. Faust recalled, “My husband, Joe, said, ‘What is this, some kind of joke? A Baseball Aquarium?’ I said, ‘There’s nothing fishy about it.’ When I knew who was going in with me, I thought, ‘Wow! That’s some pretty good company.’ I felt honored to be remembered.”
Regardless of all the conviction, this baseball exhibit is unquestionably one to remember. The memories of baseball’s legacies put with a distinctive twist show how it is just as treasurable as its cousin, the Hall of Fame.
