The Roger Maris Museum
(Pictures Of Our Visit To The Roger Maris Museum in Fargo, North Dakota - November 14, 2007)
 |
Kate and I had dinner at the Granite City Brewery in Fargo and I was so excited to visit the Roger Maris Museum.
Now it seemed some locals were somewhat "down" on the museum, being that it's fairly small and located inside
a shopping mall, but it is nevertheless a very special place that pays tribute to a great man and New York Yankee. |
 |
I snapped various pictures of the displays including these two quotations. |
 |
There is a sitting area with a running video that provides a very thorough biography on Roger Maris' life. |
 |
A display that includes some of home run balls during Maris' 1961 season. |
 |
I believe this is a replica monument that also exists inside the Yankees historic area out behind left field of Yankee Stadium. |

Here are my few baseball related pages:

Special thanks to Kate for coming along with me to the museum. :) |

One Item Purchased At The Mall
Visiting the Roger Maris Museum was meaningful enough, but this event also needs to be highlighted
as well. Upon walking around the mall, we spotted a Scandinavian gift shop and I purchased this stunning Norwegian shirt.
Yeah baby! I have two very amazing friends in Norway who will hopefully be visiting
Colorado next year. This picture is for them!!! :) |
