Gelf magazine hosts two book events

March 5, 2008

Two programs of note, one tomorrow, March 6, the other April 3, sponsored by Gelf.com.

Gelf’s Varsity Letters Sports Reading Series returns to New York on March 6 at the Happy Ending Lounge, 302 Broome Street. Authors presenting their work include Andy Mendlowitz (Ireland’s Professional Amateurs: A Sports Season at Its Purest), Spike Vrusho (Benchclearing: Baseball’s Greatest Fights and Riots), and members of the New York Daily News sports investigative team (two members were co-authors of The Card: Collectors, Con Men, and the True Story of History’s Most Desired Baseball Card). Mendlowitz will describe his eight months spent among Ireland’s finest amateur athletes, Vrusho will recount some of the most exciting brawls in baseball history, and the Daily News team will recount their investigations into performance-enhancing drugs.

Admission is free. Doors open at 7:30, readings start at 8 sharp.

On April 3, Gelf will host an all-baseball lineup, including Stefan Fatsis, contributor to Anatomy of Baseball; Jonathan Mayo, author of Facing Clemens: Hitters on Confronting Baseball’s Most Intimidating Pitcher; and Cait Murphy, author of Crazy ’08: How a Cast of Cranks, Rogues, Boneheads, and Magnates Created the Greatest Year in Baseball History.
