Events at the OWL

Dawn of Dynasty

Book Discussion, Reception & Signing with Frank Strauss

Thursday, September 18th, 7:00 - 8:00 p.m.

With the imminent dismantling of fabled Yankee Stadium, a new book by Frank Strauss, Dawn of a Dynasty: The Incredible and Improbable Story of the 1947 New York Yankees, provides readers with a nostalgic look back at one of the most memorable seasons in the history of the legendary ballpark. Dawn of a Dynasty recalls the author’s memorable meeting with Babe Ruth and features the game-by-game exploits of the players who brought New York City its first post-war championship.

A graduate of Antioch College, Frank Strauss has spent over fifty years as a journalist and public relations director. Growing up in New York City as a rabid Yankee fan, he now divides his time between New York and Litchfield County.

A wine & cheese reception will follow the event.

Space is limited - REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

Countdown til Opening Day!

Posted by oliverwolcottlibrary on March 29, 2007

Opening day is right around the corner—To get me through the cold winter months and the early spring I had to catch up on baseball through reruns on NESN, or online in the Hot Stove Reports and of course, our shelves here at the OWL. Did you know that we have a GREAT selection of books commemorating our VICTORIOUS 2004 SEASON? I love to peruse the color pages of Cursed Reversed by Sporting News—for those die hard fans this is the hardcover version of the magazine they published after the Sox won the world series—
Now I Can Die in Peace by Bill Simmons is a great book that only a true fan can “feel” the title! And yes,sadly, we do have books on the Evil Empire but it would pain me too much to list them here. If you are a parent bringing your child up the RIGHT way, we do have plenty of baseball books in the children’s room.A biography on Big Papi, The History of the Boston Red Sox and The Ball Park a great pictorial of Fenway.
