American Artifacts: Baseball in America Preview

Sunday 6pm & 10pm ET on C-SPAN3
We tour the "Baseball Americana" exhibit at the Library of Congress to learn about the game's origins and early days. Curator Susan Reyburn shows us the earliest mentions of baseball in books and diaries from just after the American Revolution, as well as recently rediscovered pre-Civil War documents -- known as baseball's "Magna Carta" – that spell out the basic rules and organization of the game that we still play today.
