Have some fun with us on Thursday’s Topical Currents, when we discuss a book on how major sports developed. Our guest is Gary Belsky, coauthor of On The Origins of Sports: The Early History and Original Rules of Everybody's Favorite Games.
Consider basketball. Early hoopsters played in wool trousers, and didn’t “dribble.” Then there’s American football: what began that peculiar move of the center snap? And ice hockey. It was begun by idle British soldiers garrisoned in Canada.
And also Thursday, Food & Dining with resident Chef, Linda Gassenheimer.
That’s Topical Currents . . . Thursday at 1pm.
