Casey At Bat
The Irish in Baseball will be the subject of the talk at the Irish Cultural Society meeting on Sept. 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the Garden City Library located on 60 Seventh St., across the street from the Garden City Hotel. The meeting is free and open to the public.
The Irish played a significant role in baseball from the very beginning. Baseball was an important avenue for Irish assimilation into American life. Guest speaker Richard Pioreck, adjunct Associate Professor of English at Hofstra University, will discuss Casey at the Bat and Irish assimilation. This talk was originally presented at the Hall of Fame at the 2013 Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture.
Professor Pioreck teaches creative writing and literature at Hofstra where he created the Baseball and American Literature course. At this year’s Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture, he presented what he discovered writing the play Say It Ain’t So, Joe, about Joe Jackson and the 1919 World Series scandal. Well studied in baseball and well seasoned in the theater, Professor Pioreck will make baseball fanatics and anyone interested in a good show well pleased. Come early. The society expects a World Series game-sized crowd.
