Baseball at the Phelps Mansion a Huge Hit

“Baseball at the Phelps Mansion,” which was produced by the Binghamton Baseball Booster Club, provided an avenue of baseball drama and chatter to a sold-out audience of approximately 125 people at the Phelps Mansion in downtown Binghamton on February 17, 2024. The event included a dramatic reading of the one-act play, “My Luke: The Iron Horse,”; a presentation on 17-year-old Jackie Mitchell’s striking out of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in April 1931; and an update on what’s going on at Rumbletown, home of the Rumble Ponies, the Double-A affiliate of the Mets. “My Luke: The Iron Horse” was written by Binghamton playwright Keith, the Jackie Mitchell section of the program was delivered by Johnson City resident Mike Tudors, and the update on the Rumble Ponies was given by co-owner of the Rumble Ponies, David Sobotka.

Local news media were present at the event, including Channel 34 News and WBNG TV.  

STAR (Southern Tier Actors Read) performed the dramatic reading of the play.

The performance by STAR received a standing ovation!
