"The Gospel of Farwell According to Baseball"
Whether you're a youngster or oldster, whether you enjoy genealogy, history, small towns, or
baseball, chances are you will enjoy "The Gospel of Farwell According to Baseball."
Farwell native Randy Lukasiewicz will present this unique, multimedia exhibit at the
September 11th Polishfest. He will talk highlights of Faith, Attitude and life in a small Polish
community, which came to adopt the all-American sport of baseball as its own.
Randy's passion first developed following his family tree search and discovery of
grandpa Paul's Championship baseball picture with an F.A.C. Logo emblazoned on his shirt.
Randy has been working to revive interest in the “mythical” Farwell Athletic Club and Fence
Busters via his multi- media presentations, vintage ball games and yearly reunions.
Feel free to wear red to celebrate your Polish Pride or don your favorite baseball cap or
jersey. Any ballplayers from the Sherman-Howard League are encouraged to attend.
