Haunted Baseball & Field of Screams
Fairfield Museum and History Center
Wednesday, October 20 at 7 PM
Baseball and ghost stories are American obsessions. The book "Haunted Baseball" combines both with this fun and freaky collection of otherworldly yarns. Collected from baseball players, stadium personnel, front-office folks, and fans, co-author Dan Gordon will explore the spooky connection between baseball and the paranormal. In addition to "Haunted Baseball," Mr. Gordon will discuss material from his new book, "Field of Screams: Haunted Tales from the Baseball Diamond, the Locker Room, and Beyond.."
