My wife and I recently went to an organ recital, a new experience for me. Our friend, Dick Harman, who I’ve written about before on these pages, was one of the musicians. The program was fantastic, and one of the organists, a young man named Riley Sindt, stole the show with his inspired and passionate playing.
On the drive home I began to muse about the state of organ music in major league ballparks.
The first organ to be played at a ballgame came on April 26, 1941, when Roy Nelson played an organ prior to the game.
