The Arlington Community Ed invites the community to attend “Baseball Americana: An Illustrated Talk,” presented by Harry L. Katz, from 1 to 3 p.m. May 24 at the Arlington Senior Center, 27 Maple St., Arlington MA.
“Baseball Americana” is a lavishly illustrated history of America’s favorite sport, compiled from the unparalleled collections of the Library of Congress, first published in 2009, and newly reprinted. Co-author Harry Katz is former head curator in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress and a lifelong Red Sox fan.
Katz will also share memorabilia of our home team and the critical role Massachusetts played in the game’s evolution.
From baseball’s biggest stars to street urchins, from its most newsworthy stories to sandlot and little league games, “Baseball Americana” tells the history of baseball’s hardscrabble origins, rich cultural heritage, and uniquely American character.
The lecture is co-sponsored by Arlington Council on Aging and open to students of all ages. Admission is $5 at the door.
