SUMMARY:Writing Baseball: The First All-Star Game
DESCRIPTION:Featured writers: Randall Sullivan and Joe Kilgallon\nAcclaimed journalist Randall Sullivan tells the story of baseball in America, from its rough-and-tumble origins through the first decades of the twentieth century and into the pivotal summer of 1933—when national crisis and a sport’s fight for survival converged in baseball’s first All-Star Game in Chicago. Sullivan is interviewed by comedian Joe Kilgallon.\nBook signing times (all signings take place by the front desk at the AWM)\n🖊️Randall Sullivan: 2:00 – 2:30\n\nFULL SCHEDULE ( https://americanwritersmuseum.org/american-writers-festival/schedule/ )\nAbout the writers:\nDescribed by the Chicago Tribune as having “a straight shooting, pull-no-punches style,” JOE KILGALLON has performed at clubs and colleges all over America.
