Welcome to modernerabaseball.com, an exciting new Web site for Major League Baseball fans that provides unique perspectives and stories on the Modern Era Players, Managers, Characters, Ballparks and the like that make baseball America’s great, national past time.
This site is designed for the fans and to that end its launch is dedicated in memory to my late father, Joe Connor III, who – in addition to being just a wonderful Dad - was a true baseball fan as well as strong advocate of the fans.
