In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, we are revisiting the very first exhibit put on in 1998. Originally curated by Miki Yasui and a team of community baseball advisors, the exhibit features black and white images of local Nisei teams and NW tournaments. Join us for this fun-filled and nostalgic exhibit, which runs through January 11, 2009.
The opening reception on Sunday, September 14th at 1:30 p.m. will feature a talk by Prof. Samuel Regalado of California State University, Stanislaus. He has written several articles on Nisei baseball and softball, as well as books on Latin American baseball.
