"The Irish in Baseball"
Tim's presentation highlights the involvement of Irish and Irish Americans in Baseball throughout its 150 years of history. It explains the origins and reasons of why the Irish were drawn to baseball as far back as the 1850's and how they became the sport's first superstars. It will carry through to today's players who have Irish heritage. We will detail the Irish American Baseball Society's role in discovering this information and sharing it with American and Irish alike.
