Join Edward T. Damer, author of Thirty-Three in Twenty-Three: The World of Rube Parnham and Other Baseball Stories, in an exploration of the career and impact of one Rube Parnham. Parnham, a McKeesport native, is honored within the International League Hall of Fame for his time as the record-setting star pitcher of the Baltimore Orioles in the 1920s. Notorious for both his skill and his temper, “the Rube” was McKeesports first big-time professional sports star.
