Sports Immortals Museum

The Sports Immortals museum was founded by Joel Platt and is located at 6830 N. Federal Highway in Boca Raton Florida. Joel became interested in collecting at the early age of four while recovering from a tragic accident that left him bedridden for over a year.

His collection started with baseball cards and has grown to over a million collectable pieces that can be viewed and enjoyed at the museum. The collectibles are from a variety of sports including auto racing, football, baseball, basketball, boxing, hockey, Olympics, soccer, tennis and more. Some memorabilia include several Hank Aaron jerseys, a glove worn by pitcher Walter Johnson, a Bob Cousy basketball jersey, a Michael Jordon rookie jersey just to name a few.

The goal of the museum is to spread the joy and excitement that sports brings to as many people as possible. Mr. Platt believes in the timeless life lessons of sports and feels the greatest players and teams should be remembered and cherished for generations to come.

The museum is a non profit 501(c)3 organization. There are plans to expand the museum into the biggest sports memorabilia museum in the country. Joel and Jim Platt have been featured in ESPN the Magazine and also have written a book.
