This past Saturday we expanded on our wonderful partnership with the The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature by attending their Baseball Days at the Bishop celebrating baseball past and present! We set up one of our Rollin' Through History Mobile Museums and read the first book in our new book series, “A Place on the Bench: The Robin Fuson Story.” We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to see how this friendship grows!

This last Friday we were invited to join the at their Annual Older Americans Month Celebration. The love for the game of baseball is one that is passed down through generations. Hearing some of their stories was an amazing moment. Some of our favorite events every year are with the Tampa Housing Authority and we look forward to partnering with again in the future.

We are so pleased to announce that the first book in our new children’s series premiered last Tuesday! “A Seat On the Bench: The Robin Fuson Story”, was released with the Honorable Robin Fuson, Josh Weaver (author), and Katelynn Meggison (illustrator) signing copies of the book.

Our new series will be about the players, coaches, and baseball legends who were born, raised, or spent their careers in Tampa. The stories will help our younger generation connect to the community with inspirational stories about perseverance, resilience, working hard, following your dreams, teamwork, and more.

We are grateful to the Honorable Robin Fuson for being our first story to tell, and look forward to the next one.
