Your opponent’s back is turned from you. He stands gripping a ball in his hand. You watch the ball spin and then dive downward, and in one swift move, you swing your bat and send the ball into the air— It’s a home run. 

With Hensville’s recent opening, and Mud Hens’ Opening Day on April 7, it’s time for baseball fever. Want to feel even more American than apple pie? Listen to baseball historian, John Husman, during his lecture “Baseball in Toledo.” With “Mud Hens Memories,” Husman has literally written the book on the Glass City’s love of baseball. Hear about our history at 7pm on Wednesday, April 13.
