The Williamson County Museum was host to Steve Wulf on Thursday, June 25, 2015. Steve is a staff writer for the ESPN sports network based in Connecticut and lives in Westchester, New York. With the introduction of the Cincinnati baseball team getting back into the All Stars this year, the location harkens back to 1970 when Ray Fosse and Pete Rose collided at home plate hampering Fosse’s career.

With the All Star game being held in Cincinnati where the 1970 collision occurred, Wulf decided to do a Marion perspective piece on Ray Fosse. Ironically, Pete Rose was held in the Marion minimum security work camp for years at the Marion prison.

WCHS society board member, past president and sports enthusiast Bob Jackson was able to give Wulf plenty of information about Fosse and his roots here in Marion as well as data and articles about Fosse’s career. Be sure to watch for Wulf’s report in the days to come.
