RUTH HANFORD MORHARD: Ruth Hanford Morhard was memorizing the batting and earned run averages of Major League baseball players and reading baseball books when most young girls were playing with dolls. Combining her love of baseball with another passion, writing, it seems natural that she would one day write a book about baseball. “Mrs. Morhard and the Boys” is that book—about a single mom who created the first boys’ baseball leagues in the depths of the Great Depression. The book will be published on February 26, 2019 by Citadel Press, in time for spring training and the start of the baseball season! Career-wise, she’s been a senior executive and consultant to major philanthropic institutions. Her work in early childhood education led to her practical nonfiction book, “Wired to Move: Facts and Strategies for Nurturing Boys in Early Childhood Settings,” published in 2013. She has a Certificate in Creative Nonfiction from Stanford University and a BA degree from Skidmore College. She lives in Chardon, Ohio with her husband Al, son of the Mrs. Morhard of the book title.
