The history of baseball in Houston can be traced back to the beginning of the American Civil War. Since the early days of the Houston Base Ball Club in the 1860s, the sport has mirrored and influenced our lives, bringing together people from all economic and cultural backgrounds, and uniting us all in a common bond that endures throughout the generations. The Heritage Society is teaming up with the Houston Astros and the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame (TBHOF) to present Rain or Shine: How Houston Developed Space City Baseball. The exhibit provides an inspiring perspective on the history of baseball in Houston, featuring treasures from the Astros, TBHOF, and many other generous lenders.
