Top Ten Time Machine
Interactive tower acts as a time machine for baseball statistics, allowing visitors to warp back in time to find record-breaking moments, historic milestones, and compare player statistics.
From streaks to shutouts, the newest exhibit at the Baseball Hall of Fame, One for the Books, celebrates the superlative moments in America’s baseball history. Located in the center of a gallery that provides visitors new perspectives on the pinnacles of baseball, the Top Ten Time Machine rewards curious fans with a comprehensive look at top ten lists.
The physical design of the Top Ten Tower consists of two sets of displays, each part serving a different function in the visitor experience. From a distance, the poster area in the top half of the tower acts as a beacon for visitors by displaying bold imagery that correlates to activity happening at the user interface level. The interactive touchscreen on the lower half contains a wellspring of interactive baseball statistics going back to the earliest days of baseball. A timeline provides great flexibility for exploring over a century of statistics while milestones highlight the big changes in baseball history. Each player is supplemented with images and background information while each statistic is supported with definitions and curatorial explanations. From Babe Ruth’s sacred home-run benchmark to the more esoteric stats, the Top Ten Time Machine is rich enough for the baseball aficionado but simple enough for the fledgling fan.
