Spencer, IA (KICD)– The Spencer Historical Preservation Committee is going to swing for the fences on Thursday by taking a look back at the rich history of baseball in the community.

To help take the community down memory lane will be long-time baseball enthusiast John Cotton who has seen the various local baseball programs continue to grow for several decades.

Cotton says part of the conversation will also back at a piece of history involving one of the many greats that made his way into the majors.

 

The History of Baseball will hit the homerun Thursday evening at 5:30 in Council Chambers at Spencer City Hall with a livestream also available on the city’s Facebook page.
