Baseball Memories with Bill Bolin – A Virtual Dinehart Lecture

We’re proud to continue offering past Dinehart Lunchbox Lectures online so you can enjoy them anytime, from anywhere. One benefit of virtual programming? You’ll never miss a moment—even if you couldn’t attend the original event.

This archived lecture features the late Bill Bolin, a beloved local historian and longtime Tracy educator, sharing stories of baseball in Murray County. Originally presented in March 2015 inside the Dinehart Holt House, Bill’s talk captures the spirit of small-town baseball and the passion of someone who lived it and loved it.

Bill Bolin taught history in Tracy for 50 years, authored more than 80 articles for Sailor magazine, and left a lasting mark on our region’s historical community before his passing in 2017 at the age of 82.

Note: Due to the original recording format, the audio may be faint. We recommend using headphones and ensuring your device’s volume is turned up for the best experience.
