. The American Experience in the early 19th Century was one of expansion. Physical expansion across new land; expansion of America’s population; expansion of commerce and a desire to bring all of America and all Americans together. American “base ball” became a celebrated pastime as America’s “rail roads” crossed the continent. Baseball and trains became deeply ingrained in American culture. They represented the spirit of a young Nation and served the people as unifying forces.
. Long Island was no different. Within a year of the first LIRR train’s arrival at Greenport on July 27, 1844, baseball’s official “Knickerbocker Rules” were created and in 1846 baseball games were played under the new rules. The railroad and baseball grew up together and it is only right to celebrate the rich history of both together.
. This year the Railroad Museum of Long Island celebrates its 35th Anniversary and the 25th Anniversary of the Long Island Ducks Professional Baseball Club LLC. Join us in celebration of the history of trains and baseball with this “Made in the U.S.A.” Lionel, SKU 25-01360 “Long Island Ducks” boxcar.
