Reading Baseball: Home Opener '53

The Major League Baseball season opens in two days. In his latest edition of Reading Baseball, Pete Peterson remembers attending his first baseball home opener in Pittsburgh and a special Bible that went along with the 1953 season.
 

Reading Baseball is a series of essays and commentaries by Richard "Pete" Peterson, author of Growing Up With Clemente and the forthcoming Pops: The Willie Stargell Story.
 

Richard "Pete" Peterson is the creative force behind WSIU Radio's Reading Baseball Series. Pete's original essays and commentaries are a regular staple for any fan of the game.
