The Pitch Talks Summer Tour Rolls On

by
August 17, 2016

Back in May, we told you guys that we were teaming up with the Pitch Talks crew for a summer tour. We had our first event in Boston back in July, and it went really well, with a few hundred Red Sox fans packing the house for a fun evening with GM Mike Hazen, Bill “Spaceman” Lee, and a bunch of local writers mixed in.

In the next few weeks, the tour really picks up steam, however, with three events happening over the upcoming month.

First up, we’re heading to San Francisco in 12 days.

The Giants GM and play-by-play announcer will both be joining us at The Independent, and Eno Sarris and I will represent FanGraphs among a couple of panels of terrific writers. It’s going to be a good time, and is a steal at just $25. Buy your tickets now.

A week after that, Eno will be traveling to Toronto to take part in the next event up there, joining Jeff Passan and the local Blue Jays writers who have made the events up there so successful.

Then, finally, I’ll be heading to Chicago in September to meet up with Craig Edwards and a bunch of smart baseball folks from the windy city for an event at The Metro right around the corner from Wrigley Field.

Jonah Keri will be joining us for that one as well, and you’ll want to get your tickets before they’re gone, as that promises to be a fun show.

If you’re in SF on August 29th, Toronto on September 8th, or Chicago on September 22nd, make sure you come out and spend an evening talking baseball with a bunch of other die-hard fans. We’re looking forward to seeing you all there.
