COMM Blog, the official blog of the College of Communications at Penn State (my alma mater), informed me that my former ethics professor Russell Frank will a panelist at Baseball Americana on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. at teh Library of Congress

Panel One: At Home
Even those of us who love a day out at the ballgame probably spend more of our baseball time in and around our homes, with our families, friends and neighbors. This panel explores the many ways we enjoy baseball at home, from watching it on TV, to following our favorite players and their all-important statistics, to playing baseball, softball and stickball in parks and city streets.

Moderator: David Taylor, American Folklife Center
Russell Frank, folklorist
Harry Katz, former head curator of LC Prints & Photographs
Claire Smith

When I was an undergrad, Dr. Frank and I used to talk about baseball, we’re both Yankees fans, quite a bit. I am hoping to get there tomorrow and see the panel.

I will also note that Dr. Frank has a column again, (this week he talks about his “first” Yankees jersey) now on statecollege.com. I have been meaning to mention that lately. I almost emailed him about the Key Bridge jumper saga as well.
