Miss Baseball? Join us to learn about Rockville’s rich baseball history from long ago to today.
Take this sports pause as an opportunity to learn about Rockville’s storied connection with both major league and Negro leagues baseball. Bill Hickman will present a rundown of the various players and managers with Rockville associations to the history of the game. You will learn about their performances on the diamond, and in some cases, their impact on the Rockville community. Interested in answers to the following? Why is Walter Johnson buried in Rockville? What Rockville ballplayer was investigated by the Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board? What is the connection between the Red Brick Courthouse and baseball?
