FFRPL presents "Books Sandwiched In" - Dan Mason reviews "Homestand" In-Person
Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America by Will Bardenwerper
Batavia, New York hosted its first professional baseball game in 1897. Despite decades of de-industrialization and evaporating middle-class jobs, the Batavia Muckdogs endured. When Major League Baseball shut them down in 2020, the town fought back, reviving the Muckdogs as a summer league team comprised of college players. Homestand captures the essence of small town life and the values of modern America.
Presenter: Dan Mason, General Manager of the Rochester Red Wings. The 2025 baseball season marked Dan's 36th season with the Rochester Red Wings and his 30th as the club's General Manager.
