# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Lecture Series: Diamonds in the Desert How the National Game Became AZ's First Professional Sport
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: After the Civil War, baseball spread rapidly across the American West. In 1866, Prescott organized its first nine, helping spark the game’s rise throughout the Arizona Territory. By the turn of the twentieth century, professional baseball had taken root in the Grand Canyon State. A century later, the sport has grown into a billion-dollar industry in Arizona—all owing its beginnings to frontier teams who played for the love of the game and were the pride of Prescott.

Join Sharlot Hall Museum's very own, Stuart Rosebrook, for a fascinating lecture on America’s pastime.
