Dr. Joe Squillace is my guest this week and we talk about the Jacksonville Lunatics, a baseball club that has not played since 1910. The team earned its nickname from playing in the same town as the Jacksonville Developmental Center that opened in 1851. However, were there concerns over this name, how did the team react to it, and why was chosen as its nickname? Squillace describes all that from his extensive research on the club.
