The History of Baseball in Rockville

Join Peerless Rockville for a Glenview Mansion Speaker Series program about Rockville's storied connection with both major league and Negro leagues baseball. Bill Hickman will present a rundown of the various players and managers with Rockville associations to the history of the game. You will learn about their performances on the diamond, and in some cases, their impact on the Rockville community. Interested in answers to the following? Why is Walter Johnson buried in Rockville? What Rockville ballplayer was investigated by the Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board? What is the connection between Montgomery County's Red Brick Courthouse and baseball?
