One of America’s foremost experts on baseball history and a founder of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum will be Trenton on Thursday night to discuss the history of the Kansas City Monarchs as it relates to Trenton.
Phil S. Dixon of Belton has included Trenton on a 90-tour to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Monarchs first World Series championship. Attendees will learn that Trenton has a very rich history as it relates to the Monarchs, including the first night game to be played in Trenton. Dixon puts a unique twist to every program he presents in that it not only gives the history of the Monarchs but specifically how it relates to that particular community.
The program will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday in the Hoover Theater at the Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library. There is no cost for admission to the event, which is being sponsored locally by the Trenton Kiwanis Club. Dixon is also the author of several books and received an award for the “Best Baseball Book” in 1992.
