If you’re a South Bend history buff, you may remember the Foundry Giants, a predominantly black baseball team in the 1920's. This new field will help immortalize them, and play host to the next great baseball players. @leogoldmantv has the details.

The opening of @FoundryField in South Bend reminds of this story I did in the summer of 2020 about the history of the Negro Leagues in the area. Had a lot of fun talking to @nlbmprez for it, and thanks to @thomasminooka for the idea!

Denver-based artist, innovator, and educator Thomas "Detour" Evans has begun work on a mural at @FoundryField telling the story of the Studebaker Foundry Giants.

See the mural up close at the Foundry Field groundbreaking, Friday, May 12 at 4pm at Southeast Neighborhood Park.

I got to spend my entire day out in the community sharing baseball with colleagues, students & neighbors…

To quote @NickMainieri, “What could be more worthwhile than building a garden with your neighbors in the middle of the place that you share?”

[Dr. Katherine Walden @KWaldenPhD]

If you haven’t read (or listened to) @NickMainieri’s piece on @FoundryField …… you really really should.

When a bunch of grown-ups wanted to play baseball again, South Bend's Sappy Moffit League was born. That turned out to be the start of something big for kids in town with limited access to the game. They'll soon have @FoundryField to call home: https://t.co/lyrwAIVe04

[nicholas mainieri @NickMainieri]

Was honored to join @SeanStires’s Irish Breakdown podcast today to talk about my recent @ndmagazine story, the @SappyMoffitt league and @FoundryField project. Lots of inside baseball talk here too, literally, thinking about old times w Sean!
