Southold Historical Museum is pleased to offer a virtual presentation entitled: “Baseball on the

North Fork” by Thomas Dyja, as the second installment in the “Fun and Games” Winter Virtual

Lecture Series.

For 150 years, the towns of the North Fork have used baseball to create identity and

community. Writer and Orient resident Thomas Dyja, curator of last summer's baseball show at

the Oysterponds Historical Society, will take us through this colorful history, with special

attention paid to the game's rich legacy in Southold, always one its strongholds on the North

Fork.

The free virtual lecture, hosted by Southold Historical Museum, is March 5, 2022 at 11am and

will be held via Zoom.  Registrants will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Thomas Dyja is the author of the critically-acclaimed New York, New York, New York: Four

Decades of Success, Excess, and Transformation, and The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the

American Dream. His novel Play for a Kingdom, about baseball during the Civil War, won the

Casey Award as Best Baseball Book of 1994.
