The True Origins of Little League: An Interview With Author Ruth Hanford Morhard
Was Cleveland, not Williamsport, PA, the true home of Little League?
This is the argument presented in the book "MRS. MORHARD AND THE BOYS" But this work is about more than the origins of youth baseball, its the story of a single mother, Josephine Morhard and how, during the Great Depression, this hard-working mother built an organization focused on fostering meaningful growth for the children in her community.
Author Ruth Hanford Morhard joins me to discuss Josphine's story and how baseball and youth sports were impacted by her mother-in-law's life. Today on Rounders: a history of baseball in America.
