“The Booker T Four overcame almost incomprehensible odds in their collective journey from Leavenworth to the Negro Leagues. In doing so, they had taken an instrument of penal control & transformed it into a vehicle of personal liberation.” #ArchivesGames

This 1907 #ArchivesGames invention allows spectators to be part of each play in a ball game as figures move around the illuminated diamond scoring runs, while a score card tracks game progress, & the board operator calls out plays through a megaphone. 📢

As we wrap up this #ArchivesHashtagParty , we finish with this special #ArchivesGames called "Hoover Wins - Prove It!" It was created during Herbert Hoover's presidential bid in 1928. Winning the game "proved" he would succeed in the White House. (2001.4.1)

Long time resident of Potsdam, Hervey Thatcher, is best known for his work developing a special cap for the glass milk bottle, but he enjoyed playing games too, and he has the patent to prove it! 📸 King Bridge Checker Game, patented in 1914 #ArchivesGames #ArchivesHashtagParty

This month’s @USNatArchives #ArchivesHashtagParty is #ArchivesGames , which makes it a great time to remember this history: the Dodgers were chased out of Brooklyn by Robert Moses in 1957 - devastating their fans, but leaving home plate behind. (Don't worry, we still have it!)

Children have played with marbles since ancient times. In early 19th-century New England, marbles were mostly made with clay and were imported from England or Germany. Some marbles were even made with local clay. #ArchivesGames
