Author appearance: Tyler Kepner will discuss “Baseball, Faith, and the Chase for World Series Glory” at Christ Church in Greenwich, CT, on Friday, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m. The event will be both in-person and livestream. For details, visit christchurchgreenwich.org.

Bull Durham creator Ron Shelton was recently honored at the Coronado Island Film Festival In San Diego, which was the impetus for this story from the Union-Tribune. (Here’s my Bookshelf Conversation with Shelton.)

Art in the (sculpture) park: From the Riverfront Times in the St. Louis area… The artistry of the natural world and human-made sculpture collide in Jean Shin: Home Base at Laumeier Sculpture Park. In the installation, the artist uses an ash tree stump as an alternative home plate in a reimagined installation of a baseball diamond, marking the bases with sculptures of Rawlings bats, sculptural seats and benches. The park is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and the program runs through Sunday, December 11. For details, visit laumeiersculpturepark.org.

A bench where the back is made from baseball bats sits in a park.

As posted by SB Nation/South Side Sox: On the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of the Disco Demolition promotion at Comiskey Park, Dave Rigendorf, aka DSRacer, reached out to share his short story set on that day. The story was originally published in Aethlon: The Journal of Sport Literature (Spring/Summer 2018).
