Eric Gray talks about his book Backyards to Ballparks at Atherton Library
On Monday, February 10, 2025, meet Eric Gray, author of Backyards to Ballparks: More Personal Baseball Stories From the Stands and Beyond at the Atherton Library (2 Dinkelspiel Station Lane. From 6:00 to 7:00 pm, Eric will highlight:
- How the idea for Backyards to Ballparks came about
- How the author collected stories that ultimately put the book together.
- Share passages from the book Backyards to Ballparks
It is important to note that while every personal story in Backyards to Ballparks touches on baseball in some way or another, most of the stories really are far more of a human interest nature than play of game. If you love baseball, that’s great; if you don’t, you will enjoy the stories anyway because baseball is often just the background.
The stories have been collected from all over the country, all over the world, at every level of play. These are stories that make people laugh, tear up, and remember.
A Q&A, book signing, and opportunity to share your own baseball stories with author Eric Gray will conclude the event.
