Swinging Away (Marylebon Cricket Club and Scala Press, 2010) is curator Beth Hise’s  new book on her exhibitions on base ball and cricket at Lord’s and at the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Besides writing two essays on cricket in the United States for the recent Origins Issue of Base Ball, Beth has contributed a paper on the English response to exhibition base ball games in England in the early 1900s.

 

Beth Hise contributed two essays to the Special Protoball Issue of Base Ball this May.

 

Beth notes that April 2010 is the time slotted for her exhibition on Cricket and Baseball at the Marylebone Cricket Club [Lord’s Grounds] in London.  It is possible that the exhibit would also be shown in Australia and at Cooperstown afterward.  Part of the exhibition will focus on bat and balls games prior to 1840, and Beth is looking into stoolball history and the 1755 William Bray diary as well.

Long-term preparation for a special exhibit on cricket and baseball is under way by Beth.  The exhibit is slated for spring of 2010 at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, home of the MCC cricket museum, where Beth serves as a guest curator.  The exhibit may also tour in the US and Australia.  For details, send Beth an email.  Beth, a Yale-educated Cleveland Indians fan, has 20 years experience in curating social-history events at Australian and American museums.
