Step up to the plate for the Tampa Baseball Museum

 

The Tampa Baseball Museum at the Al Lopez House needs your help to open in 2014. Home Plate Pavers and limited edition cigar boxes are now available for purchase, which raises funds to rehabilitate the Al Lopez House and develop the exhibits to honor Tampa’s rich baseball heritage.

Help pave the way to preserve Tampa’s baseball heritage

Cement your love of the game in front of the Tampa Baseball Museum with an engraved paver in the shape of home plate.

 

Inscribe a personal message, memorialize a family member or signify a special occasion on a Home Plate Paver that will become a permanent fixture of the museum and be seen by thousands of visitors each year.

 

Only 140 pavers are available – secure yours today for $1,000. Pavers ordered by May 15 will be among the first placed in Home Plate Walk when installation begins in June.

Honor Cigar City’s influence on baseball 

Cigar aficionados will love one of the limited edition Tampa Baseball Museum cigar boxes. Only 500 of these black lacquered wood cigar boxes emblazoned with the Tampa Baseball Museum logo will be produced.

 

Each box is filled with 10 premium Rocky Patel Sumatra Honduran Blend cigars.

 

Own a piece of Cigar City’s baseball heritage for only $100.

 

All proceeds from the pavers and cigar boxes will help build the Tampa Baseball Museum at the Al Lopez House. From Little League to Major League, the museum will preserve, honor and celebrate Tampa’s historic role in the game of baseball.

The Tampa Baseball Museum at the Al Lopez House is being developed by the Ybor City Museum Society, a nonprofit organization that preserves and promotes Ybor City’s cultural heritage and supports the Ybor City Museum State Park.
