Inside Baseball with Ryne Harper and Phil Wood 

May 5 | 3 pm | Turner Auditorium   

Free to the public; does not include Museum admission   

Join Clarksville native and former Major League Baseball pitcher Ryne Harper in conversation with sportscaster and baseball historian Phil Wood. They’ll track Harper’s path to the majors and talk about the game today through a historical lens, from the explosion of player salaries to the impact of legalized gambling on the sport. 

Ryne Harper, a graduate of Clarksville High and Austin Peay State University, spent eight years in the minor leagues before making his big-league debut with the Minnesota Twins in 2019. He was traded to the Washington Nationals and spent two seasons with them, retiring in 2022. Phil Wood spent 46 years as a TV-radio sportscaster in the Baltimore-Washington market. In retirement, he’s an adjunct professor in the Communications Department at APSU. 

This event is free and open to the public, but registration is encouraged.
