Rest in peace, Carl Erskine. What a truly meaningful life lived and celebrated today in Indiana. 🙏🏻

Yesterday, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ⚾ held a press conference at Yankee Stadium to discuss the newly-announced plans for an exhibit which will explore the history of transpacific exchange of baseball between the U.S. and Japan. Yankees and NPB Alumni Hideki Matsui and Roy White both spoke

Celebrate, we will! #DMB

Most home runs by a Japan-born player, passing Hideki Matsui (who was asked about it at this morning’s @BaseballHall news conference at Yankee Stadium). 👏👏

Full circle moment. The first thing that ever landed on my desk from Peter O’Malley was a memo that said he heard the Yankees do something unique when they drag the field and wanted someone to look into it.

Today, I saw the grounds crew do YMCA for the first time in this job!

Hideki Matsui & Roy White discuss a new exhibit exploring the wide-ranging exchange of baseball between Japan and the United States, which will open in July 2025 in Cooperstown.

Thank you to the ⁦New York Mets⁩ for airing this tribute to my husbum, Dennis D’Agostino, today.

As the radio voice of the New York Yankees since 1989, John Sterling brought a style all his own to countless historic moments, including five World Series and Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit.

We congratulate him on his career as he's recognized today at Yankee Stadium.

Coverage from this week’s announcement in Tokyo came from more than 30 media outlets, including this extensive article from @JapanTimes (most others are in Japanese, as expected)!

When NPB Commissioner Sakakibara moved to New York in 1974, the first place he visited was the Statue of Liberty. The second place was Cooperstown.

Several former big leaguers are managing in NPB, including Masato Yoshii (Chiba Lotte) and Shingo Takatsu (Yakult), who we met with this week.

Every single person we’ve met with this week is excited about our next major exhibit, Yakyu/Baseball coming in July 2025.

Thank you to NPB Commissioner Sakakibara for the hospitality this week in Japan. We look forward to welcoming you all to Cooperstown soon.

How awesome is this? We go to the other side of the world and run into a @BaseballHall member, Fred, wearing his pullover at the Yakult Swallows game.

How lucky was I to start my career in 1995 during Nomomania under the O’Malley family, who led the way in Japan in the 1950s?

Here, I’m sharing a ball from Nomo’s first no-hitter and a jersey the #Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani donated during his first homestand with the franchise.

Thank you to ラーム・エマニュエル駐日米国大使 for hosting yesterday’s news conference at his residence.

There is no more fitting place to launch an exhibit on the exchange between two countries than at an embassy, where it happens every day. The staff there was tremendous is pulling off his event!

Momentous day in Tokyo as we announced our next major exhibit at ラーム・エマニュエル駐日米国大使 Rahm Emanuel’s residence with pioneers Masanori Murakami, Warren Cromartie and massive media turnout.

Yakyu/Baseball: The Transpacific Exchange of the Game will open in Cooperstown in July 2025. ⚾️🇺🇸🇯🇵

Love this and stoked that Mo'ne will join us for the East-West Classic during Memorial Day weekend and represent those who came before her.
