Baseball enthusiast and long-time Phillies fan Jeff Thomas will take us on a journey as to how immigration and assimilation played out for newcomers in the 20th century. He dives into how baseball has long been seen as America’s game, even for those just arriving here. Many immigrants thought that by getting into baseball and enjoying it, they’d blend in better with American culture and life. Learn about how America’s great game has long been intertwined with immigrants fitting into American society.

Instructor Jeff Thomas, a Phillies season ticket holder for 40+ years, has played, coached, and taught baseball for many decades.
