Jimmy Breslin, Robert Lipsyte & Murray Polner are Talkin' Baseball, Branch Rickey & Journalism

Enjoy a nostalgic afternoon listening to the great stories, rousing opinions, and accumulated experiences of Jimmy Breslin, Robert Lipsyte, and Murray Polner - three of New York's most irrepressible and engaging writers, on Sunday, October 9 at 2:00 p.m. at the Saddle Rock School Auditorium, 10 Hawthorne Lane (off of Bayview Avenue).  The authors will talk about baseball, sports, New York, the stories they've covered, the intrigue they've uncovered, and Branch Rickey, who made history with Jackie Robinson by integrating major league baseball in 1947. Discount copies of Branch Rickey and The Good Rat (Breslin), An Accidental Sportswriter and Center Field (Lipsyte), and Branch Rickey: A Biography (Polner), will be on sale at this event, and there will be book raffles.
