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 lively, fast-paced lecture by author and historian Liz Coursen.
