With baseball season in full swing, enjoy an evening with Bill Pearch, a Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) member and Dwight High School graduate (1991), as he discusses Dwight, Illinois’ unique connection to our national pastime. His presentation, Dwight, Illinois: Where Big League Talent Met Small Town America, will highlight our community’s earliest references to baseball, how Col. Frank L. Smith’s namesake team aided his political aspirations, and several of the major-league and independent teams that barnstormed through town in the early 20th century.
