This show brings the audience great things Ohioans are doing to make their communities, the state, the region, and the world a better place as entrepreneurs, leaders, historical and popular culture figures. For episode 87, I had the privilege of interviewing Ken Krsolovic, co-author of the great book League Park, The Historic Home of Cleveland Baseball 1891-1946. To connect with the Outstanding Ohioans show, here are a few ways: Itunes Stitcher Your computer Facebook YouTube I first heard of League Park when my grandma talked about seeing Babe Ruth play there when I was a kid.  Odds are other kids born before 2000 in the Cleveland-area heard similar stories from grandparents.  As a baseball fan, I love reading about and seeing pictures of these old stadiums, often nestled in neighborhoods with houses and small businesses all around.   Unlike many old stadiums, remnants of League Park remained after the Indians left.  It was used as a practice facility for the Cleveland Browns and amateur baseball.  The facility fell into a state of disrepair, until efforts were made to renovate the field, which re-opened in 2014. League Park website Facebook Page for League Park Ken Krsolovic is the co-author of this great book.  Ken grew up in Euclid and has been around the game of baseball his entire life.  Here are some items we discussed: first time he heard about League Park why were ballparks in this era built in neighborhoods Ken's baseball background coaching philosophies importance of personal responsibility process for writing the book and getting it published who used the ballpark? unique ballpark dimensions city renovation and book release timing what's happening at League Park today favorite stories discovered when writing the book To contact Ken, you can reach him on Twitter: Twitter-great updates/stories about League Park If you find value in my show and would like to help out, please donate to the show via PayPal here.  I appreciate your generosity and would be happy to recognize you in the next show.
