Hear Stories from the Greatest Players
Tales from the Clubhouse
Hearing stories from those who lived in an era different from our own is fascinating. The tales are especially more interesting when they come from people we have looked on from afar, watched play a game with anticipation, or heard of them from lessons in history. Tales from the Clubhouse introduces us to meet the greatest baseball players from across this land. These stories will indulge us in enriching messages that will make us smile, cause us to think, and help us relive the moments that made their stories memorable.
