Pigskin Dispatch: Your Portal to Positive Football History

Sports Writer

In the bustling newsroom of the Pittsburgh Guardian, amidst the clatter of typewriters and the crackle of telegraph wires, a legend waits to be written. This is the story of Orville Mulligan, a sportswriter with a nose for a scoop and a knack for getting under the skin of even the most seasoned athletes. Join us as we delve into the exhilarating world of 1920s sports journalism, where Orville navigates the smoke-filled locker rooms, the tranquil back alleys, and the roaring grandstands in pursuit of the truth.

His typewriter is his weapon, his words his bullets. Orville doesn't just report the news; he exposes it, unearthing scandals, chasing down leads, and championing the underdog with a wit as sharp as his fedora brim. But his relentless pursuit of the truth often puts him at odds with influential figures, from crooked team owners to shady gamblers, all with secrets they desperately want to keep buried.

Intro to the Sports Jersey Dispatch Website

The Sports Jersey Dispatch aims to furnish the history by the uniforms, jerseys & sweaters of top North American Team Sports players.

From the diamond to the hard courts, the icy surface of hockey, all the way to the grass of the gridiron, auto, horse racing, and beyond. Jersey Dispatch uses these identifying numerals on the participants to tell the story of sports.

Intro to the YesterYear Hub Website

History is like a spiderweb in which a strand or two connects everything to something else. A ripple in the fabric of time has repercussions elsewhere. We celebrate these events through North American History and try to connect them with other aspects of life and how they may have changed the course of the human experience.

So enjoy this collection of projects and see how they are interwoven in time in the Crossroads of History.
