Are you a fan of baseball, jazz music, or short stories? If you enjoy one, two, or all three of these American art forms, please join us for this conference commemorating the 100th anniversary of the publication of Ring Lardner’s You Know Me Al, recognized as the first literary baseball fiction. With a lineup that includes keynote speaker Dr. Amber Roessner of the University of Tennessee, plenary speaker Dr. Roberta Newman of New York University, award-winning sportswriter Hal McCoy of the Dayton Daily News, a baseball picnic, and a WSU Raider home game against the Toledo Rockets at Nischwitz Stadium, you'll have plenty of opportunities to experience the best of these three American art forms. Visit the CELIA events website at wright.edu/baseball for information updates, and then join us at the conference for a grand-slam experience!
