How do Philadelphians play?

We go to professional sporting events, join athletic teams and leagues, and play pick-up games in our neighborhoods. But we also go to plays, concerts and dance performances. We see what’s playing at the local movie theater. We play musical instruments, the radio, digital recordings and even records. And we make them, too. This changing gallery explores the many ways we play, starting with a look at sports.
 
The first Played in Philadelphia exhibition: Phillies Fandemonium, explores the culture of being a Phillies fan in the 20th and 21st centuries. Inspired by Philadelphia photographer Chris Crisman's 2011 pictorial profiling both celebrity and not so well-known local baseball fanatics, the exhibition invites fans of all ages to share how they show their love for the hometown team. 

Featured items include baseball uniforms of two great Phillies players, 3^rd baseman Mike Schmidt and shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
