Lift Bridge Book Shop

All are welcome to meet author Douglas Gladstone and Steve Grilli (the voice of the Syracuse Triple A baseball team).  Douglas will be talking about his recently published book, A Bitter Cup Of Coffee. Free and open to the public.  Books will be available to purchase.  Douglas will be happy to sign copies!

Below is a little backround on the book...

Douglas J. Gladstone’s important new book, A Bitter Cup of Coffee, examines
the plight of 874 Major League Baseball players who played between 1947
and 1979, all with brief trials in the majors—careers figuratively “just long
enough to drink a cup of coffee.” These men, the author suggests, have
gulped bitter cups of coffee because they haven’t been included retroactively
in the pension plan’s amended vesting requirement since adopted by the MLB Players
Association.
This book is painstakingly researched and thoughtfully argued, and includes many interviews with former
players. It should be required reading for anyone who cares about our national pastime and those who have
played professional baseball.

All are welcome to attend the September History Book Club discussion of Bourbon France.  Read any book on this topic and have the opportunity to share your insights and thoughts about the book you have read.  Free and open to the public.
