A  Sparky Tuesday Trivia!!
In 1987 poet, author, and former baseball player, Gary Gildner went to Poland to teach at the University of Warsaw on a Fulbright scholarship. One January day a sportswriter came knocking, asking for help with a baseball team he had organized, one that could not win. Gildner agreed to help him and out of it came the memoir, The Warsaw Sparks by Gary Gildner in which he reminisces about his time coaching baseball in Warsaw and the many colorful characters he encountered. This week Tuesday Trivia is going to take our own little trip to Warsaw (through the World Wide Web of course) and see just what this city is all about. Care to join me readers?
