The tour begins behind a wall of chicken wire, a barrier both real and symbolic. On the other side of the fence is a field filled with life-sized bronze statues of some of the greatest ballplayers the world has barely seen. You have now stepped into the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, and the only way to get to that field on the other side is by walking the length of its halls and exhibits. In other words, this time you must earn your way onto their field.
