The Arizona site is less fancy, but nicely introduces a new team. Meanwhile, baseball's most-storied team the New York Yankees is not shy about the Web, and its site has the usual features such as ticket sales, player roster and a press release archive. The New York Mets have their own site with a schedule, roster and other necessities. A site called Black Baseball is a fascinating journey into the era before the integration of the sport. At first glance, the site of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., seems light.
Closer inspection reveals a deep and complex site that highlights the hall's collection.
One current online exhibition features the story of women in baseball. The 150 years or so of women's participation in the sport as players, officials and fans is reflected in other sites as well, most notably in a site dedicated to the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League . The site tells of the league that was created in 1943 to fill the void left by male players going to serve in World War II, and then was shut down in 1954. Most of the women's sites are produced by individuals around the United States, and fan pages, which cover every baseball topic, are often the most compelling because of the sheer enthusiasm of their creators. Two players from the past featured in several sites are Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth.
