One of baseball’s most celebrated rivalries between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals will be in the spotlight starting next month at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield.
Opening March 24, “Cubs vs. Cardinals: The Rivalry” will include rare and notable artifacts and photographs from both teams from the past 150 years, including the hat worn by Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood as he struck out 20 players. The exhibit was created with input from both teams as well as the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
The exhibit aims to showcase the stories of the longtime rivalry as well as celebrate the enthusiastic fan bases for both teams. The exhibit is included with the price of admission to the museum and several special events surrounding the exhibit are also planned.
