Peter Myers
I was destined to be a baseball fan. My parents cheered on the Brooklyn Dodgers. They courted at Ebbets Field, and were married in 1957, the same year that their beloved “Bums” played their last season on the east coast. My family did not move to Los Angeles, nor did they cross over and root for […]
Jim Slade
My name is Jim Slade and I have been a volunteer at the National Ballpark Museum for almost two years. I stumbled in one day as a tourist and was so welcomed by Raelee, the Museum Manager, that I decided to stay. It is truly an extraordinary collection of baseball heaven. Baseball has been a […]
David Piacenti
I was born 45 minutes south of Chicago, in a post – industrial rust – belt nightmare of a town called Kankakee, Illinois. I was raised in a smaller town called Clifton where baseball was the most celebrated of all sports. My passion for baseball was passed down through at least three generations. My father, […]

Born in Pittsburgh, my bond to the Pirates was ignited at the age of 9 when they beat the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. I became a fan for life – and as such, have had many smiles and tears along the way watching my beloved Buccos. My first ballgame ever attended was the […]

As with all ten camps, baseball […]

I joined the museum’s volunteer lineup in 2019. I have been a fan of baseball my entire life, with a particular interest in the National League parks and Pacific Coast League history. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, and have been a fan of the San Francisco Giants for fifty “plus” […]
Sean Farragher
I am a proud Jersey boy and die hard Yankees fan who went to my first game at the age of 6 weeks old. The best part about volunteering is sharing stories with folks about how baseball brought their families and communities together! My favorite relic is the vintage Yankee Stadium usher uniform.
Dan Evans
As well as being the former General Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, I have been in professional baseball for nearly four decades, holding decision making positions with five major league franchises. My baseball career includes stints with the White Sox, Cubs, Dodgers, Mariners, and most recently, as Director of Pacific Rim Operations for the […]

I was raised in Minnesota and South Dakota and grew up a fan of the Minnesota Twins. After High School I enlisted in the United States Navy for four years and was stationed in the Brooklyn Naval Yard. After the Navy I earned a Masters Degree at the University of South Dakota. I started my […]
Joan Brundage
I grew up in St. Louis an avid Cardinals fan. My mother taught me from a young age that the Cubs, Dodgers, and Yankees were the enemy. I even worked as an usher at Busch Stadium while I was in college. I moved to Boulder in 1981 to work at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric […]
