You guessed it! Another Book Talk is coming up at the CLC featuring Author Dave Bohmer!

“Baseball resists change, but Ford Frick forced it — and Dave Bohmer shows how. From Jackie Robinson to expansion to the players’ draft, Frick shaped the game,” said Will Carroll, baseball journalist and author of The Juice and The Science of Baseball. “This is the definitive case for baseball’s most overlooked power broker.”

Join us as we learn more about this fascinating historical figure with local ties to Noble County.
