Have you ever seen the diamond of hope? Look at the diamonds on the baseball field.

At the donation ceremony held by the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History yesterday, Thomas Tull, a member of the museum's board of directors and a long-time baseball fan, officially handed over his personal collection of 14 precious cultural relics to the Smithsonian Institution Museum. Especially worth mentioning is a glass-wrapped baseball signed by 1927 Yankees. Before sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates that year, he was notorious for being 1 14 years old. This series of fierce lineups called "Murder Wars" by managers at that time included Lou Grieg and Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth's signature was written in cursive, scrawled and clear, perfectly sandwiched between the two seams of the ball.

In addition to this bizarre sample, the collection also includes McGregor's signature gloves of Hank Aaron and Milwaukee Warriors, a retro superstar hat with the word "Say Hi" printed on Willie Mays, and a retro jersey of Cardinal Stan Mussel with zipper. Aaron, Metz and Meusel made their appearances in 24 consecutive All-Star Games, a feat unmatched by new york baseball hero Jorge Bella in major league history.

John Gray, the curator of the museum, stressed that the organization promised to spread American "thoughts and ideals" to the public, and hinted that sports narrative has almost universal appeal in this country, which may unite different people to appreciate the history of this country.

"At this moment of polarization," Gray said, "we are trying to unite the United States."

Thomas Tal has accumulated these through years of constant contact with Leland auction house and private collectors. He agrees with Gray's view on the higher meaning of baseball. Toure has always been a fan during his one-hour growth outside Kuijpers, but his appreciation of this sport is not limited to a team or an era.

Babe Ruth's signature looks up at the audience from the surface of a commemorative baseball. Tracing back to 1927, this ball was named after the fierce Yankees who swept the world series in that year.

"When we look back on some of the greatest moments in American history in the past 100 years," Tal said, "baseball has been part of our cultural structure for a long time."

In particular, he refers to Obison, the first appearance of the African-American League in 1947, the landmark moment of the American civil rights movement, and the world series after 9/1,in which "countries gathered to watch the record of Carl ripken Chase Lu Grieg."

In the inspiring and unpredictable history of baseball, Tal thinks it reflects the inspiring and unpredictable history of this country.

"The continuity and the stories handed down are the reasons why I like this sport."
