HOF & Museum
NEIBA Admin December 25th, 2008
In 2002, a long-time goal of finding a permanent facility for the Hall of Fame and accompanying museum was realized. The museum includes a collection of local baseball photographs and memorabilia as well as rare artifacts. Shown here are photographs of the NEIBA Museum inside the Dean Kruse World War II Victory Museum in Auburn, Indiana. The photo on the right shows the 8×10 photographs of each inducted Hall of Famer as they overlook the exhibits.

To whom it may concern:
I am currently working with Lincoln Financial Groups
corporate archives. As you know, Lincoln sponsored several
semi-pro teams in the 1920′s.I have only one team picture(1928)
in the archives and trying to see if more are out there.
Since most of their games were played at League Park,(now Headwaters)
it would be great to find some shots of League Park as well.From what I am
finding, not many photos exist of the Park from the 1920′s.
.I did get one response from the ACPLibrary
with a very poor jpg of the park.It was the Lincoln Lifers as you know
that played the imfamous ball game with Babe Ruth and the Yankees
in 1927.I read the article and box score from Bob Parkers 1957 Journal Gazette
5 part series on the history of baseball in Ft.Wayne.
If anyone you folks know of that might be helpful please be in touch.
Thank you,
