LSU Baseball Fans Ask Who William and Mary Are?

They are The King and Queen of the Glorious Revolution (which by the way was not so Glorious or Sweetness and Light for Catholics under their rule in the Mother Country or the Colonies) :)

So basically LSU plays a three game series against the evil Baseball playing apostles of the Catholic hating Monarchs this weekend. The historic William and Mary we are playing this weekend was established by them in 1693 by a royal charter .

More fun stuff on the College of William and Mary itself and of course the upcoming series later tonight in another post.

By the way Catholic readers for those interesting this is a good short PDF that shows the fascinating history of Catholics students at William And Mary and how they brought tolerance to that part of VA. It appears until the Yankee Catholic students arrived on the scene in the 20th century Catholics were actively encouraged not to live in that town.


In 1912, a group of Catholic families considered relocating to Williamsburg. F. H. Ball was
assisting them in finding land for a church and school; however, these plans were soon
abandoned as four of the Catholic families were persuaded to leave by people who called
themselves citizens.

The largely northern Catholic students that came later helped change the viewpoints.

FUN STUFF and a good read.

Anyway more on the game later.
