About the event

Building Community through Local Baseball Coverage
Local baseball clubs are often tied to community identity and pride. Dr. Amber Roessner will explore how Knoxville baseball clubs–from the amateur teams of the late-1860s to the modern pros, such as the Indians, Giants, and Smokies–were covered in the sports pages and how this in turn served as a community-building forum.
