Our most recent chapter Zoom presentation was on November 14th. Eric Gray joined us to discuss his two baseball books, Backyards to Ballparks and Bases to Bleachers. His books are a collection of folks' personal stories that, in one way or another, touch upon baseball. The stories are more often of a human interest nature than play-of-the-game. There are stories from around the world, and all levels of play from Little League to softball Leagues to Major leagues. The stories make people laugh, tear up, and remember their own experiences.
His presentation consisted of describing how the idea for the books came about, how he collected stories and ultimately how he put the books together. And of course, some stories. There was a Q & A after the presentation and others shared stories as well.
