Spent a pleasant three days at Hofstra University’s conference celebrating the 50th anniversary of the New York Mets, much on on which later.
Suffice it so say here that I met or re-meta lot of nice folks, many of whom are authors and/or bloggers, including my roomie, Matthew Silverman (several titles about the Mets), Stanley Cohen (A Magic Summer: The Amazin’ Story of the 1969 New York Mets and the upcoming revised edition of The Man in The Crowd), Lee Lowenfish (Branch Rickey: Baseball’s Ferocious Gentleman), Howard Megdal (The Baseball Talmud and two Mets titles), Rob Edelman (Great Baseball Films: From Right Off the Bat to a League of Their Own), Jason Antos (Images of Baseball: Shea Stadium), Peter Bagdade (A Year In Mudville: An Oral History of Casey Stengel and the Original Mets), and John Thorn, official historian for Major League Baseball and author of several books, including, most recently, Baseball in the Garden of Eden), among others.
As I said, more details to come.
