Arkansas Travelers Baseball Museum

Phil Elson, play-by-play announcer for the Arkansas Travelers, has written a nice piece on the Travelers Baseball Museum at their new ballpark, Dickey-Stephens Park, in Little Rock, AR. I remember visiting Ray Winder Field in 1999 and walking into the business office and meeting longtime GM Bill Valentine. As Mr. Elson describes, it and a small display on the concourse served as the Travs' museum for many years. The wood-paneled office was adorned with lots of historic photos of past teams hung rather haphazardly on the walls. More teams should have their own museums for fans to visit.
