Joe Territo will discuss the evolution of our national pastime through the 19th century and into the first part of the 20th century. This was a period of rapid change for baseball as it moved from a game played by children to a popular adult club sport. An interesting Rochester connection to the dawn of baseball will be revealed. This presentation will also include a display of authentic baseball artifacts to help demonstrate the role equipment played in the early game’s development. Presented by Greece Historical Society.
