New York's Varsity Letters sports reading series returns on Wednesday, October 3 at 8 p.m. At this free monthly event at a Lower East Side bar, hosted by Gelf, John Bacon, Michael O'Keeffe, Teri Thompson, and Jon Wertheim will read from and talk about their work, and take questions. In their new books, Bacon shares leadership lessons from the late Michigan coach Bo Schembechler; O'Keeffe and Thompson expose the wacky collectors and shady behavior in the world of baseball-card collecting; and Wertheim tells the delicious tale of a present-day pool hustler.
Admission is FREE. Please spread the word to sports fans and book lovers.
