1.    Columbus Clippers:  The Columbus Clippers offer a unique opportunity to Central Ohio schools.  This spring, the Clippers historian, Joe Santry will be available to your school to give PowerPoint presentations to your history classes.  Joe gives 300-plus speeches a year and it's FREE!
        Mr. Santry, one of two historians in the history of baseball, is a gifted and entertaining speaker.  He tailors his talks to the age of each class.  He also consults with each teacher to tie his presentation with the class plan.  His talks are based on baseball but branches out into many areas of history.
        Joe has a gift for developing a lifetime interest in history with young people.  One of his favorite presentations is how ordinary people from your neighborhood changed the world.
        If you would like Mr. Santry to visit your school, call the Clippers at (614) 462-5250.  You may also e-mail Joe directly at jsantry@clippersbaseball.com.
