Our first meeting of 2014 will take place on Wednesday, January 8 at 6:30PM with NY Post Writer Ken Davidoff. Ken spent 11 years at Newsday before moving to the NY Post in 2012. He covers the Mets, Yankees, and all of baseball. He was the former President of the Baseball Writers Association of America (2010-2011). Ken also appears on Fox’s Sports Extra during the year and is frequently heard on WFAN with Richard Neer on Saturday mornings. Ken is a tremendously knowledgeable baseball man and just a great guy as well. If you don’t already read his column your are missing something.

The meeting will take place the day the 2014 Hall of Fame Members will be announced and Ken will be able to discuss the electees and non-electees as he has a vote. He will also be discussing hot stove news, spring training, history of the game, etc. His dad will be accompanying him and the elder Davidoff is and was a huge Willie Mays fan attending the SF Giants January 2013 Trophy presentation which we were specially invited to.

The meeting will take place at our “home base” the Bergino Baseball Clubhouse. Jay Goldberg always welcomes us with open arms. If you need that perfect baseball gift for the holidays, birthdays, etc., Jay is your guy and his store is the place. Here is his link:

If you plan on attending the wonderful event with Ken Davidoff please RSVP ASAP. . In the event you tell me you are coming and then something comes up, please have the courtesy to call me at. I had to turn away people from the Peter Magowan meeting because we had too many saying they were coming, and then some didn’t show which wasn’t fair to those left out in the cold.

Any questions feel free to email me back. Looking forward to hearing from you. Again, a great way to start the year with Ken Davidoff as our guest. In advance I thank him and Jay Goldberg.-GMintz.
