Doc Talks Vintage Gear

 

Here I share some of the equipment used in the early days of baseball. 19th century gear was mostly handmade from available materials, from bats made out of wagon wheel parts to balls cobbled from leather scraps. 

 

ITS A DATE!

On Saturday, February 28th at 11 am. I will be seeing the Birmingham Children's Theatre production of Catching The Moon, a blues opera about Toni Stone - a woman who challenged gender norms by playing pro baseball in the Negro Leagues. Following the show I will join the actors onstage for a talk-back session to answer audience questions about the play and its subjects. I encourage everyone to come out and support this wonderful production.
