Ben Chappell to speak at the Kansas City Museum on Mexican American softball tournaments

Ben Chappell will be speaking at the Kansas City Museum this week, discussing his research at Mexican American softball tournaments. It should be an interesting event, somewhere between an academic conference, an old-timer’s game, and Antiques Roadshow. The initiative is aimed at developing the collection of the National Museum of American History. Participants will also get a shout-out at the Royals game on Thursday, so look for me on the jumbotron. More info on the Smithsonian web site here
