SUMMARY:Chats on the Past: Waite “Schoolboy” Hoyt
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Westport Museum’s exhibition “Playful Pastimes\,” join Westport author Tim Manners to discuss Schoolboy: The Untold Journey of a Yankees Hero (University of Nebraska Press 2024).  \n\n\n\nWaite “Schoolboy” Hoyt’s improbable baseball journey began when the 1915 New York Giants signed him as a high school junior\, for no pay and a five-dollar bonus. After nearly having both his hands amputated and holding his own with players twice his age in the hardscrabble Minor Leagues\, he somehow ended up the best pitcher for the New York Yankees in the 1920s.  Based on a trove of Hoyt’s writings and interview transcripts\, Tim Manners has reanimated the baseball legend’s untold story\, entirely in the pitcher’s own words. Schoolboy dives straight into early twentieth-century America and the birth of modern-day baseball\, as well as Hoyt’s defining conflict: Should he have pursued something more respectable than being the best pitcher on the 1927 New York Yankees\, arguably the greatest baseball team of all time?  \n\n\n\nTickets for this virtual event are free for members and $5 for nonmembers.
