Beyond Baseball, a program in the Baseball Heritage Museum’s series celebrating the members of the 1920 World Champion Cleveland Indians, will continue with the story of Steve O’Neill, this Saturday May 23 at 1 p.m.

Steve O’Neill is known in the baseball world as the catcher on the 1920 World Champion Cleveland Indians team who went onto a successful career as a coach and manager.

But to Hank Nowak he was grandpa. Hank will join us from Texas via Zoom to share his memories. Hear stories that include Babe Ruth , Bob Feller, Hank Greenberg,  Tris Speaker , Ray Chapman , Jack Graney , Train travel , Giants , and Herman Goering.

Hank says of the program:

“Our neighbors went to work, then came home to their families.  Ballplayers went to work, were cheered or booed, then went home to their families,  often in workingclass areas. In the off-season they had jobs as laborers , salesmen,  clerks, and on and on. Players weren’t special other than getting to play games as adults . There are many stories of famous men that show that our parents and grandparents were all of one fabric”
