A special exhibition looking back on the 2025 season with press photos
Not only professional baseball for the 2025 season, but also collegiate baseball, adult baseball, women’s baseball, and even MLB, all press photos of famous scenes from various stages will be gathered together. Approximately 70 items will be carefully selected and displayed from the moment they are captured through the viewfinder by photographers from companies affiliated with the Tokyo Photographers Association.
You can look back on the 2025 season from a different perspective than watching the game broadcast, such as the momentary swings and slides that convey the power of the play, and the smiles and tears that the players show at the moment of victory. The composition is such that you can enjoy the charm of baseball with the sense of distance that can only be found in photographs, such as facial expressions that are difficult to see from the stands and scenes from the bench.
“Best Shot of the Year” decided by fan vote
At the venue, a project will be held in which the “Best Shot of the Year” of the year will be determined by votes from attendees. Of course, you can vote for photos of your favorite teams and players, but you may also find yourself captivated by an unexpected photo.
The past 10 “Best Shot of the Year” winning entries will also be on display, allowing visitors to look back on the history of the photo exhibition as well as changes in the baseball scene in recent years. For fans who visit every year, one way to enjoy it is to compare the best shots from the past with the new nominees for 2025.
What is the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum?
The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is a Japanese baseball museum that opened in 1959 and is currently located within Tokyo Dome City. We collect and store a large amount of materials related to domestic and international baseball, both professional and amateur, and exhibit the materials. The museum has a collection of approximately 40,000 items, including actual items and photographs, and out of these, over 2,000 pieces, such as uniforms, bats, gloves, and balls, that tell the story of Japan’s baseball history are on display inside the museum at all times. Another highlight is the Baseball Hall of Fame, which features reliefs of players, managers, and baseball figures inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The history of Japanese baseball culture is comprehensively introduced through game footage, recorded materials, and valuable exhibit materials, and special exhibits and special exhibitions on various themes are also held from time to time. It is a popular spot to stop by before or after watching a game at Tokyo Dome, and the museum is visited by a wide range of people, from families to hardcore baseball fans.
This exhibition, which looks back on the 2025 baseball season through photos, will be a great opportunity to sit back and re-enjoy the days when we cheered loudly at the stadium, and the famous scenes we have followed on the news and social media. If you pay attention to the facial expressions and gestures of the athletes, you may be able to see the differences in the viewpoints of each photographer. Why not experience the fun that can only be found in press photos, which sometimes depict athletes in dramatic and sometimes humorous ways? (Art exhibition navigation)
