Take Me Out to the Ballgame in Leesburg
Listen and watch as Rick Reed, Curator of the Leesburg Historical Museum and newspaper columnist, gives a history of baseball and Leesburg at the Leesburg Public Library on Sunday, June 1st, at 2:00 pm in the Carol Gregg Meeting Room.
Baseball played a very important part in the early days of Leesburg, affecting school, social, and business life in the community. It made Leesburg an “all American town,” because what can be more hometown wholesome than baseball. That great American Pastime – baseball – has been a big part of the City of Leesburg since before Venetian Gardens’ Pat Thomas Stadium at Buddy Lowe Field was built in 1937. Town teams from Leesburg played teams from other towns over a period of about 100 years. Games were first played in Leesburg on the town field around 13th Street and later at Cooke Field, now site of the Cutrale Juice Plant.
For further information on this program, contact Carol Anderson, Adult Services Librarian, at 728-9790. The program is free and open to the public.
