The Dinsmore Women in Baseball Exhibit presented by Rosie Reds explores the multi-faceted and impactful contributions women and girls have made and are making to America’s National Pastime as players, fans, broadcasters, writers, coaches, managers, owners and executives. It is a story that dates to the early days of the organized game and one that continues to evolve in the present day. The exhibit explores the many obstacles women and girls have overcome and still struggle against to be a part of the game they love, and highlights many of the groundbreaking individuals, achievements and events that serve as inspiration to all those striving to make a dream come true. Conceived and curated by baseball historian John Kovach, the exhibit features over 200 artifacts.

Los Rojos Exhibit – Presented by Dinsmore
Since baseball was introduced to Latin America over a century and a half ago, it has embraced the game with a fervor seen in few other places around the world. The region has produced countless baseball stars and some of the game’s most revered icons. In “Los Rojos!”, visitors were able to explore the rich and complex history of baseball in Latin America and the Caribbean and examine the unique imprint Latinos have made on the game. Throughout the exhibit, the Reds’ frequent intersections with and influence on the sport’s growth in Latin America were highlighted were the many great Latino stars who have etched their names into history while wearing Reds uniforms. Also featured were artifacts related to some of the unforgettable Latino stars who made their marks with other teams including all-time greats Roberto Clemente and Mariano Rivera as well as game used items from some of the current game’s Latino greats. All written content in “Los Rojos!” was presented in both English and Spanish.
Root the Reds Home - presented by Dinsmore
The concept of a baseball team winning a pennant or being involved in a pennant race is well known to sports fans. But what exactly is a “pennant” and when did baseball teams decide to start chasing them? What were the first pennants made from and in what sport did they make their debut?
The answers to these questions and much more were explored in “Root the Reds Home” presented by Dinsmore. This exhibition of Reds souvenir pennants and stadium banners highlighted the origins of pennants and their evolution over the years. More than 200 historic Reds pennants were on display from the team’s championship seasons plus other banners from memorable events such as the 1988 All-Star Game in Cincinnati, the Reds’ tour of Japan in 1978 and many more.
In August of 2003, the NLBM made available to the public the first-ever collaborative professional art exhibit inspired by Negro Leagues Baseball. This critically acclaimed exhibition features 35 original works of art produced by 28 diverse professional artists from across the country that interpret the Negro Leagues experience on-and-off the playing field. Renowned artist Kadir Nelson headlines the talented roster of artists who participated in Shades of Greatness. The Reds Hall of Fame and Museum is proud to bring this unique celebration of the compelling and powerful story of the Negro Leagues to Cincinnati to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Negro Leagues in 1920.
