I know,I know. I have been remiss. Haven’t posted in a while. Just been so busy with the new (non-baseball) book. But I hope to find a few minutes here and there to keep you coming back.
So here’s an announcement: the Temple Emanu-El Skirball Center, located at One East 65th Street in Manhattan, will host a free panel discussion on our favorite topic on Sunday, Oct. 26, at 10:30 am. (So there’s plenty of time to get home for the World Series).
The panelists include:
- Alan Dershowitz – Longtime Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School (ret.), prolific author, defender of American civil rights, Israel and the accused… and a baseball fan.
- Ira Berkow – Pulitzer Prize-winning sports reporter and columnist of The New York Times, and best-selling author. His books include a memoir with Hank Greenberg, collaborations with Walt Frazier and Rod Carew, and the recent series, Summers at Shea, Summers in the Bronx, and Autumns in the Garden.
- Donald Fehr – Executive Director of the National Hockey League Players Association and former Executive Director of the Major League Players Association, 1985–2009.
The program will be moderated by Larry Ruttman, author of American Jews & America’s Game, which was chosen as the best baseball book of 2014 by Sports Collector’s Digest.
Reservations are requested for planning purposes. For more information call 212-507-9580 or visit the Skirball Center’s website.
