Each will tell a brief story relating to the theme of “Baseball As Good Medicine”

A panel of judges including performer/writer Mary Brienza and communications wiz John Beilenson.

You get to sit in the Clubhouse bleachers, enjoy a beer/beverage/ballpark snack, and watch it take place in front of you.

Seats are limited, with a contribution of $50.
