Alvin, Texas, home
of Baseball Hall of Fame member Nolan Ryan, now hosts a wonderful exhibit
covering the career of the
phenomenal pitcher. Housed in a beautiful
new building on the Alvin Community College campus, the exhibit has become a
major attraction for the southeast Texas community.
The exhibit is a
multi year effort of project director Steve Harding of Harding Design working
closely with the Nolan Ryan Foundation and Jay Baker Architects. It features an
enormous collection of Nolan Ryan memorabilia spanning Nolan's entire career
from High School to Hall of Fame.
A major attraction of the
exhibit is the "Stats-Center Kiosk's" which were designed, programed and
installed by Media Cottage. The Kiosk's
feature a complete repository of all the statistics on every Nolan Ryan
game all easily indexed and retrieved via multiple
search categories. Another popular
feature of the Kiosk's is the display of a dynamic timeline spanning Nolan's
entire career. Included in the timeline are high quality MPEG audio and video
clips of all major highlights and milestones in Ryan's long career. |
