For the Win! August 2, 2026

 Truth be told, I am not a sports fan. When the Brooklyn Dodgers moved to LA, I decided at an early age I did not want my heart broken again. So I never again got head over heels into any sport. Yes, I understand others passions for their team…but it was just not for me. That said, I was delighted to accompany my friend Robyn to the American Museum of Natural History to view the Knick’s 2026 trophy along with a whole lot of other trophies, bling, photos, etc in an exhibit called ‘For the Win’. ‘Highlights include the National Football League’s Vince Lombardi Trophy, one of Jesse Owens’s gold medals from the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, a 2024 WNBA Championship ring from New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart, and Kevin Durant’s 2024 Team USA Olympic gold medal. The exhibition features over 70 objects across more than 15 sports—including baseball, soccer, tennis, boxing, golf, and swimming, revealing how sports prizes have transformed over time from traditional medals and cups into increasingly elaborate symbols of achievement’. Did viewing this exhibit turn me into a sports fan? No. But we did have fun. This exhibit is on through January of 2027
