"Jack and Larry" More Than a Baseball Story

On Tuesday, June 27th at 6:00 p.m. the La Salle Public Library will host author, Barbara Gregovich when she presents the story of "Jack and Larry," taken from her book by the same name.  More than a sports story, "Jack and Larry" is the story of a man, a dog, a team, and the pursuit of the penant: a pursuit filled with joy and sorrow.  

Jack Graney played baseball for the Cleveland American League team (now known as the Indians) from 1910-1922.  Jack was also the first, and only, major league player to own a dog that was the team's official mascot.   That dog was Larry, a bull terrier.
