Liz Coursen will deliver a lively lecture on “Baseball in Paradise: A History of Spring Training in Florida” at Matheson History Museum on Wednesday, Jan. 28.
This free presentation will take place at 7 p.m. at 513 E. University Ave. in Gainesville. Click here to register for the event.
The history of America’s Pastime and the Sunshine State has been intertwined since the dramatic (and perhaps apocryphal) advent of the Grapefruit League. Hear about spring training’s humble beginnings, the game-changing roles played by Hank Greenberg and Jackie Robinson, and how baseball has influenced and directed Florida’s growth and development in this presentation.
