Bergino Baseball Clubhouse hosts “The Mind of Mort Gerberg”

October 14, 2014

I don’t get to New York City much these days and when I do, it’s usually to attend an event at the Bergino Baseball Clubhouse.

I did a story about Gerberg several years ago when one of his collections came out. Unfortunately, it’s not on the newspaper’s website, so I can’t link to it. Suffice it to say, Gerberg is a hoot. He was the “cartoon editor” for one of my favorites, Joy In Mudville: The Big Book of Baseball Humor

Gerberg will be the featured guest at the Clubhouse’s Fall Art Party on Thursday, Oct. 23, from 6-9 p.m. RSVP to 212-226-7150.

From the event announcement:

Mort Gerberg is a longtime cartoonist and author best known for his work in The New Yorker, Playboy and numerous other publications.

A founding member and president of The Cartoonists Guild, he has written, edited and/or illustrated 43 books for adults and children. For other fun, Mort plays the piano, second base, tennis, ping pong, skis, dances, and sings in a choir.

Mort Gerberg’s cartoons — prized originals and prints — will be on exhibit and available for purchase.

Complimentary beer, beverages, ballpark snacks, and laughs.
