Lippman spoke about the 50th anniversary of Bobby Thomson’s Shot Heard ‘Round the World, while Diunte spoke about pitcher George Spencer. Both men then took questions on the entire book. A wonderful night concluded with NYGPS Member Jerry Liebowitz conducting a Trivia Contest on the nicknames of the members of the NY Giants. Winners received an authentic signed photo of Bobby Thomson. Thanks to Jay Goldberg for opening his clubhouse to the NYGPS.http://www.bergino.com/
