Baseball As America

Ernst & Young is proud to be the exclusive national sponsor of Baseball As America, a traveling exhibition of nearly 500 historic treasures of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum brought from its legendary home in Cooperstown, New York. The successful and popular tour will conclude its run after making stops in both Philadelphia and Boston in 2008.

The exhibit, which opened in March 2002, provides a revealing, inspiring, and sometimes humorous perspective on America's game and our national character. It is a fitting collaboration because our firm shares so many of baseball's values, especially leadership, teamwork, diversity, opportunity, and performance excellence. In sponsoring the Hall of Fame's tour of Baseball As America, Ernst & Young is helping to ensure that these values — along with the remarkable artifacts that symbolize them — will be celebrated and cherished as never before.
