Weekday Events

Book Talk: Bob McGee
In this lively story of sports, politics, and the talented, hilarious, and charming characters associated with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Bob McGee chronicles the ballpark’s vibrant history from the drawing board to the wrecking ball, beginning with Charley Ebbets and the heralded opening in 1913, on through the storied eras that followed. McGee weaves a story about how Ebbets Field’s architectural details, notable flaws, and striking facade brought Brooklyn and its team together in ways that allowed each to define the other. Thursday, April 14. 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Suggested donation: $5. 128 Pierrepont Street, Brooklyn Historical Society.
