18TH & VINE HISTORIC DISTRICT.   This unique museum utilizes film, memorabilia, and other exhibits to track a remarkable chapter of American sports history. Guests use computers to access 3-D information on the league's history and players, play challenging trivia games, and learn basic baseball techniques. An interactive playground allows visitors to "bat" against video images of major-league pitchers inside a 44-foot-wide batting cage, which also features a virtual umpire and measurements of how far your hits travel. While you're there, make sure to check out the phenomenal collection of books, videos, and one-of-a-kind gift ideas at the museum's "Extra Inning Store."

I had the pleasure of visiting the NLBM and the Jazz History museum during a business trip about four years ago. I must say, I was mightily impressed. The statues were so life-like!

Even though I have not visited the museum yet, based on all the information that I have researched on the internet, I know the museum rates higher than any of the museums in Washington DC. Through my research, I found an article about the Seattle Steelheads, and they played a game against the Bremerton Cruisers, on Roosevelt Field. My parents never spoke of the Negro League playing in Bremerton. Another reason why I have become so interested in Negro League history, I played baseball on the same Roosevelt Field in high school, and I was born in 1952. I would like to know where I could get any more information pertaining to the Pacific Coast Colored Professional League. Thank you for providing such invaluable Negro League Baseball.
