History of Baseball Part 1 at Meriden Library

Meriden Public Library is pleased to

host Aaron Krerowicz on Tuesday, July 29 at 7:00 pm as Mr. Krerowicz begins a

three part series on the History of Baseball. Unlike other sports, baseball has

a rich and complicated history that closely parallels American history. The

first part, “Civil War through the Black Sox” will cover how the American Civil

War provided baseball with its first platform for national exposure and infused

the sport with a sense of national pride. It will trace the history of the

national pastime from the Civil War, through the late 19th century,

the “Dead Ball Era,” and the Black Sox scandal of 1919.





Part 2, “Babe Ruth through Integration”

will be presented on August 12 at 7:00 pm.





Part 3, “The 1950’s to the present”

will be presented on September 2 at 7:00 pm.
