The History of Black Baseball in San Diego Presentation by Bill Swank The Negro League Baseball Museum’s exhibit “Breaking Barriers” is adjacent to the Baseball Research Center. Of the more than 50 panels included in the exhibit, two deal with San Diego’s Johnny Ritchey and his role in “breaking barriers.” The narrative in the Ritchey panels was written by Swank. While Ritchey’s role was notable, the history of Black baseball in San Diego started at the turn of the last century. Swank has written about the subject in several books that cover baseball history in San Diego from the 1870s through to the current Padres. No one knows the subject better. The program is sponsored by the San Diego Ted Williams Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). Admission is free, and open to non-members.

Five girls, their fathers and the mess of growing up. In the summer of 2008, five young girls of color and their white fathers show up at a community center. With emotions ranging from excited to downright suspicious, some are more ready than others to embark on this adventurous – albeit misguided – father-daughter bonding program. Over their time together, the fathers and daughters navigate the joy and confusion of childhood amidst myriad challenges: burgeoning friendships, unfulfilled crushes, intergenerational struggles, grief, financial insecurity and the frustration of not being seen for who you truly are. Eliana Theologides Rodriguez is an exhilarating new voice whose work centers on young women and the complexities of race, heritage and family. "Indian Princesses" is based on a real-life father-daughter YMCA program she participated in as a child – which still exists today under different names. Laugh-out-loud funny and delicately tender, this delightful new play illuminates the quirky, messy, and magical moments of growing up. As this patchwork group struggles to push through difficult conversations, they eventually discover the power, connection, and love that is gained when they do. First Look (previews)*: June 10 – 14 Weeks 2 – 4: June 17 – July 6 Please note: There are no performances on Sunday, June 15 or Friday, July 4.
