February 2, 2009

Combining the best of both worlds, the Chapters Bookstore in Pittsfield, MA, will hold “For The Love of Baseball” Doubleheader. on Saturday — Valentine’s Day — Feb. 14, from 3-5 p.m.

Author and Berkshire resident Dan Valenti will discuss his love for Pittsfield and the state of professional baseball with American Defender GM Jon Tosches. Dan will also sign his newest book, Baseball Comes Home: The History of the Baseball Hall of Fame Game – 1940-2008. Jon will lead the Defenders in their inaugural season at historic Wahconah Park.

Baseball Comes Home, a 200+ page book with more than 150 photos, some never before seen, chronicles the 70-year history of the Baseball Hall of Fame Game that was held annually at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, NY during Inauguration Weekend; the exhibition ended with the 2008 game.
