Immortalizing a milestone in the history and legacy of America's pastime, this commemorative coin's curved design is the first of its kind by the US Mint. A baseball is depicted on the convex side of the coin's reverse. A baseball glove is illustrated on the concave side of the coin's obverse which curves inward reflecting the natural shape of a baseball mitt. The obverse design was selected as a result of the Mint's National Baseball Coin Design Competition, and was chosen by Hall of Fame member judges including Joe Morgan (second baseman, elected 1990); Brooks Robinson (third baseman, elected 1983); Ozzie Smith (shortstop, elected 2002); Don Sutton (pitcher, elected 1998); and Dave Winfield (outfielder, elected 2001).
