More Spring Training Events

by Geoff Young on Jan 28, 2007

I just got this note from Jonah Keri:

Come on out to sunny Peoria and meet two major league GMs, Saturday March 3. Mariners GM Bill Bavasi and Padres GM Kevin Towers will talk and take questions from fans for a good 45 minutes, before seeing the two interleague rivals face off in a fierce spring training game. Afterwards, you can buy a signed copy of the newly updated, paperback version of Baseball Between the Numbers and chat with editor/co-author Jonah Keri or receive some kind of The Cheater’s Guide to Baseball promotional item from author Derek Zumsteg. Game time is 12:05 1:05 p.m., and guests should plan to arrive NO LATER than 11 11:30 a.m. for pre-game festivities, to be held in the section where we’ll be sitting.

Cost is $21, which includes your ticket to the game and the money we have to pay TicketMaster to mail them to us so we can distribute them early.

RSVP by emailing to seattlefeed@yahoo.com. Please specify your full name and how many tickets you need. To ensure that we can secure/order a group of tickets all together, deadline to RSVP and pay for tickets will be Friday, Feb. 9. Once we’ve confirmed your RSVP by email, you can PayPal the funds, by no later than Friday, Feb. 9, to: derek@ussmariner.com.

I will be working feverishly to complete the book so I won’t be able to swing this, but it would be cool if some Ducksnorters could make an appearance and give us the lowdown. If you can’t make it to our event (or even if you can), this promises to be a good time.

Update: Game time is 1:05 p.m. Participants should arrive no later than 11:30 a.m.

    I’ve met Zumsteg at a Portland pizza feed a couple of years ago … if you like BP, you’ll like him. KT is *always* good at these things … too bad it’s so early in the spring … I’m going to try to talk my Dad into going …

    If any of you were disappointed at the Petco event last year, and I know I was, I would highly recommend going to this if you can. KT is much more entertaining, forthcoming and down to earth than Alderson was.

    2: I actually enjoyed the Alderson Pizza Feed more than the KT Pizza Feed the previous year.
