Our third meeting of the year will be held on July 17, at 6:30PM, at the Bergino Baseball Clubhouse. Our guest speaker will be Robert Murphy, who authored the book, After Many a Summer: The Passing of the Giants and Dodgers and a Golden Age in New York Baseball.

The book has recently come out in paperback. Mr. Murphy will be chatting with us about his wonderful book and the reasons behind the two NY teams leaving for the West Coast. The book will be available for purchase and autographing as well.

Thanks in advance to Robert Murphy!!

Please RSVP ASAP if you plan on attending, or even if you don’t plan on it. I will give Jay Goldberg our numbers by July 1st, so in essence that is the deadline. This way Jay can invite people from his email list as well. If you tell me you are coming and then change your plans, please have the courtesy to inform me as early as possible as it isn’t fair to those who might have wanted to attend but couldn’t because of space issues. Remember the Clubhouse is not a tremendously large venue.

Finally, if you can email me your RSVP on a separate email, I would appreciate it.

Once again thanks to Jay, the owner of the Bergino Baseball Clubhouse for allowing us to have his meeting there. Please support him if you need a special “Baseball “gift.
