In this bonus episode, we "Go the Distance" on the history and legacy of the real Archie "Moonlight" Graham, who many people know from the "Field of Dreams" movie portrayed by Burt Lancaster and Frank Whaley.
Graham was a 1905 alumnus of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and made historic contributions in the field of medicine, specifically pediatrics. Guest Larry Pitrof, executive director of the Medical Alumni Association of the University of Maryland, talks about his recent discovery of correspondence and artifacts tied to Graham that were previously unknown.
This bonus episode is a condensed version of a Twitter Space that aired Aug. 10, 2022, a day before the second annual MLB Field of Dreams game.
The episode will be available Friday, Aug. 19. Listen to the episode at umaryland.edu/pulse, or search and subscribe to “The UMB Pulse” on Apple Podcasts or wherever you like to listen.
