Phillies History Lesson Coming To Easttown

Baseball season is upon us. We've broken out our jerseys, dusted off our ball caps, loosened up our gloves, and broken open the Cracker Jacks to root on the Philadelphia Phillies. At least most of us have, we can't speak for transplants from other cities...

Regardless of transplants, the Phillies are a staple in southeastern Pennsylvania and with the season in full swing, maybe you want to look back on how the Phillies became the team we know and love today.

Luckily, the Easttown Library is hosting a special speaker on Sunday, April 30.

The speaker, Lancaster County native and lifelong Phils fan John Schmoyer, will discuss the lengthy and storied history of Philadelphia's baseball team.

Schmoyer will cover many aspects of Phillies history, included the franchise's events, ballparks, and personalities.

With the team's history dating all the way back to the 1880s, the event is sure to be full of great stories, little-known facts, and more that will inform even the biggest Phillies fans.

The event kicks off at 2 p.m., Sunday, April 30 at the Easttown Library, 720 First Ave., Berwyn.
