D.C.-area children will get a glimpse into what makes the perfect Max Scherzer slider, along with “Howie do it” 鈥� hit a grand slam, that is 鈥� at the soon-to-open National Children鈥檚 Museum in downtown D.C.
That鈥檚 right — the museum with a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) focus set to open next month will include a physics-oriented baseball exhibit sponsored by the the Washington Nationals鈥� owners foundation, The Annette M. and Theodore N. Lerner Family Foundation.
The 10-year partnership between the museum and the Lerners includes a $200,000 gift, which will fund 鈥淧itch Perfect鈥� and 鈥淕rand Slam Science,鈥� interactive exhibits that will be branded with the Nationals logo and feature Washington Nationals players. The pitching exhibit will include a green screen and give visitors the ability to feel how stance, grip, aim and speed affect the accuracy of a pitch; the hitting exhibit will teach the mechanics of batting through a simulation.
