Rory Costello is Co-Chairman of the BioProject Committee and Chief Editor. He also participates actively in writing for the BioProject. His involvement started as the author of Baseball in the Virgin Islands. It was a great pleasure and privilege to interview the subjects — some outgoing, some quiet, but typically affable — and discover their genuine fraternity. As an alumnus of Williams College, he was drawn to delve into the life of Ted Lewis and other Ephmen. A resident of Brooklyn, he has also written “Twilight at Ebbets Field” — a chapter of stadium lore revealing what happened after the Dodgers left. Ballplayers from Hawaii are another of his pet topics, but he has covered players from 20 different nations or territories, including 11 places in Latin America and the Caribbean.
