Gibson House Sixth Annual Baseball Program: "Old Boston Baseball's Colorful Characters"

Baseball fans have a chance to explore the game's present and revisit its past on Tuesday, May 9. The Gibson House Museum, in conjunction with the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and the Boston Braves Historical Association (BBHA), proudly presents "Boston Baseball's Colorful Characters." This is your chance to meet other baseball history fans while hearing about the local scene's most colorful characters from years long past. Featuring hosts Bill Nowlin, Joanne Hulbert, and Donna Halper, the evening will highlight entertaining baseball stories as seen through the eyes (and pens) of Boston's early-twentieth-century cartoonists.

Festivities begin at 5:30 p.m. in the courtyard of the Gibson House Museum at 137 Beacon St., Boston, with a “Ballpark Cocktail Hour” featuring beer, hot dogs, and crackerjacks. The program gets underway at 6:45 p.m. at Fisher College (across the street).

$30 in advance; $35 at the door​; with a special $25 admission for members of the Gibson House Museum, SABR, BBHS, the Boston Preservation Alliance, the Ayer Mansion, the Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay, and the Victorian Society.
