The decade 1910-1920 was a time of tremendous turmoil, with a "War to End All Wars" and one of the deadliest pandemics in history. The war and pandemic had significant implications for all areas of American life, including Major League Baseball and the future of the Boston Red Sox. Bob Goodof, former GHM board member and longtime baseball history buff, will build on Skip Desjardin's masterpiece September 1918: War, Plague, and the World Series to discuss events surrounding this critical period, as well as a host of other characters, anecdotes, and "fake news."
