Presenting book in Washington, d.c.

​

On September 27, 2017, while attending the annual meeting of the Polish American Congress in Washington, D.C., Mark met up with his good friend - and very loyal Chicago White Sox fan - Len Baldyga. Besides enjoying a delicious dinner together, Len and Mark exchanged stories about their proud Polish heritage and, of course, being ardent ChiSox fans. 

Mark presented his book, "1917-2017: One Hundred Years of White Sox Baseball" to Len. In return, Len returned a book about the great White Sox third baseman, Buck Weaver. Entitled, "The Ginger Kid: The Story of Buck Weaver" written by Irving Stein and published in 1992, it details the life and brilliant career of Weaver. In Mark's opinion, Weaver was destined to become a Hall of Famer, but because of his involvement in the Black Sox Scandal of 1919, Buck never reached enshrinement.
