Carl Bialik meet: featuring The Poz

By Tangotiger, 11:16 PM

I host a free sports reading event in New York. Tomorrow features Jennifer Ring, author of a book about women playing baseball; Larry Tye, Satchel Paige’s biographer; Jonathan Hock, maker of a film about Luis Tiant; and most germane to your blog’s audience, Joe Posnanski. There are interviews up with all the authors, plus details, here:

It’d be great if you could link to this for all the JoePo fans among your readers who may want to meet him, and join for a terrific night of baseball without the actual baseball.

I’d love to hear a recap from anyone who is going!

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
