Science of Baseball

Get informed on our nation's favorite pastime! The Met is partnering with the Fresno Grizzlies once again to bring you the Science of Baseball exhibition located inside Chuckchansi Park.

Beginning on opening day, Friday, April 11th, and throughout the entire Grizzlies season, Chukchansi Park will host an exhibit offering fans in-depth knowledge on the sport they know and love.

Learn about the anatomy of a bat, discover the “guts” of a major league hard ball and find out why curve balls curve. There are interactive pieces as well; challenge your reaction time or uncover the “sweet spot” on the bat.

The exhibit is free with paid admission to Grizzlies’ home games. Be sure to swing by and check it out!
