played, managed, coached or umpired in the major leagues. Many were
the sons of immigrant coal miners and living and working conditions
in America were quite different from what they had been used to

it thrived as a church-sponsored form of recreation and
entertainment for the coal miners and their families This work

dedication, humility, and hardship that many northeastern
Pennsylvanians experienced.
