JEWS AND BASEBALL: AN AMERICAN LOVE STORY FILM SCREENING

OCTOBER 4, 2010 AT 7PM

This new film explores the connection between Jewish Americans and baseball, our nations' most iconic institution. More than a film about sports, it is a story of immigration, assimilation, bigotry, heroism, the passing on of traditions and the shattering of sterotypes.

Immediately following the screening there will be a question and answer session with former major leaguers Ron Blomberg, Elliott Maddox, Art Shamsky with writer Marty Appel as moderator.

Members - $10 per person ~ Non-Members - $15 per person
Seating is limited so advance registration is strongly suggested.
