Thank you for visiting our site! We hope that you'll enjoy reading about our collection and the former players we have become friends with. We have accumulated many historical items such as original seats from Municipal Stadium in Omaha where Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, and many former K.C. Monarch greats played. The original glove and spikes used by Ann Kmezich in the National Girls Baseball League, early examples of baseball cards from the turn of the 20th century and a napkin signed by Joe Dimaggio at his restraunt during his playing days are part of the permanent collection, as well as an autographed George Brett game used bat from 1990. Much could be pondered about these articles from the past, all having HISTORICAL significance, yet much more than that is their story.
Featured Pieces from the collection will be exhibited on our site soon!

About Us - Who We Are
Welcome!
We are The Marsh Collection
Museum of Baseball History!
Museum of Baseball History!
"It Started in 1988. I bought my first pack of Topps cards (when they used to put gum inside). We've produce authorized memorabilia for former professional players of the Negro League, and the National Girls Baseball League. We've displayed traveling exhibits, given brief lectures on WWII baseball, professional women's baseball, and the Negro Leagues to a spectrum of audiences ranging from grade school classes through college. It's been an absolute joy. I never knew there would be such interest and that sharing it would come to this." ~ Jody Marsh- owner
