Classical Conservation Conversation: A Conservation Hall of Fame

Classical Pacific - Conservation Conversation

Every year, the Baseball Writer's Association of America elects players to The Baseball Hall of Fame. The five baseball stars of the class of 2025 include outfielder Ichiro Suzuki.

In this week's Classical Conservation Conversation, Dr. Shawn Lum looks to the induction ceremony and the speech of the first MLB Hall of Famer of Japanese descent. "Ichiro Suzuki's acceptance speech revealed something...moving and deeply human... Can words from the deity of the baseball diamond translate into tangible conservation action?"

Dr. Lumʻs conversation concludes with music from James Horner's Field of Dreams.

Sharene Keli`ipunilei Lum Taba is a harpist and is married to Jazz bassist and educator, Dean Taba.
