(Atlantic, Iowa) – Historians generally agree that the sport of baseball likely came to America from England, but how did the sport get to Iowa? That’s the topic of a free presentation set to take place this Sunday, in Atlantic. John Liepa, long time baseball fan, life-long baseball card collector, historian and professor, will discuss the origins of baseball and how it came to Iowa. His presentation, entitled “How Iowa Met Baseball: The Myths, The History, The players,” serves to dispel some of the myths regarding the invention of baseball, origins and evolution of the early game in the United States, and how the Civil War played a role in accelerating the spread of the game. The very first mention of the game coming to Iowa, he says, was in 1858.

Iowa had 222 major league baseball players over the years, including Hall-of-Famer Bob Feller, from Van Meter.

He says over 40 Iowans have made it to the Major Leagues, and during their careers played less than 10-games. There were seven Hall-of-Fame inductees.

Leipa will bring a lot of memorabilia with him to use as part of the presentation, including three cases with old baseball cards.

His free presentation will be held Sunday, November 20, 1:30 pm at the American Legion Memorial Building (also known as “The Armory,” in Atlantic. The program is sponsored by Atlantic Rock Island Society Enterprise (ARISE), and supported by Atlantic Community Promotion Commission.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says the Hawkeyes’ run defense will be tested today (Saturday), at Minnesota. Gopher running back Mo Ibrahim is second in the Big Ten by averaging just over 140 yards per game.

While Iowa’s defense gets a lot of praise Ferentz says the Gophers are right there with them.

Ferentz the Gophers combine that defense with a ball control offense.
