Rain on Our Parade

By Anne Skove, Esq.

Today was a wet opening day here in Cincinnati. Better for the Reds if it had rained out, because they lost to those newbie Diamondbacks.

Normally we would leave the baseball musings to Tom, who actually knows what he's talking about, but we wanted to mention the National Constitution Center's new exhibit on...baseball!

What does baseball have to do with the Constitution? Baseball is entwined in U.S. history. "Baseball as America" explores topics related to the U.S. Constitution and our national pastime, from segregation to antitrust laws.

There's a lecture on April 19. The exhibit runs through May 11, so catch it! Think fast!
