The jersey Sammy Sosa wore when he hit his 600th home run, a bat used in 1974 by Mike Hargrove and a hat worn by Hank Blalock are among the Rangers memorabilia in the Baseball As America exhibit at Fair Park.

Once you've had your fill of corny dogs and the butter sculpture and whatever they've fried up this year at the State Fair of Texas, you might want to wander over to the Museum of Nature & Science, writes DMN columnist Kevin Sherrington. For the price of $1 and a Fair ticket, you gain entrance to the world's greatest traveling sports museum. More than 2.2 million fans have viewed the exhibit at its first dozen stops. Houston hosted it two years ago.
