The exhibit aims to highlight the strong history between Japan and Major League Baseball. Murakami was the first Japanese player in MLB history, when he debuted in 1964. The country wasn't represented again until Nomo's first game with the Dodgers on May 2, 1995.
"This exhibit will explore the transpacific exchange of baseball, including players, styles of play, equipment and the fan experience. The stories we will tell will range from the challenge of the pioneer players on both sides of the Pacific to the achievements of today's stars and the many celebrated tours of baseball teams in both countries.
