Play Ball!

written by matthew brady

For millions of Americans, nothing represents new beginnings quite like the start of another baseball season. The sight of a perfectly manicured field. The smell of popcorn, peanuts, and hot dogs. The crack of a bat hitting the ball and the thump of the ball hitting a mitt. It’s a springtime paradise.

And this season is even more notable, with Major League Baseball celebrating its 150th anniversary. In honor of this momentous occasion—let’s play two!

Meet groundskeeping guru Roger Bossard, who has spent over fifty years with the Chicago White Sox and whose family has been in the big leagues since the 1930s.

It’s baseball’s century-and-a-half celebration—a great time to test yourself on the game’s long history. Will you strike out or hit a home run?

Help friends and family enjoy baseball’s return by sharing insights from a legendary groundskeeper and a history quiz.
