The Bookshelf Conversation: Graig Kreindler

September 15, 2014

Once in a while it’s good to remember that the Baseball Bookshelf is not just about books, but about movies, magazines, collectibles, and illustrations, all of which can also find a spot there on.

So here’s baseball artist Graig Kreindler, whom I first “met” seven years ago when I did a profile on him for the New Jersey Jewish News. I say “met” because until last Thursday, at an exhibit at the Yogi Berra Museum marking the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s “Luckiest Man” speech, in fact I had only known Kreindler through emails, Facebook messages, and the very occasional phone call.

So after spending  good deal of time that evening chatting with Kreindler and his charming wife, Sarvanez, I decided a Conversation was long overdue.
