World Series Centennial Celebration

Bruce Markusen · 10-09-2003, 09:20 PM

For anyone who might be interested, the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown will be hosting a World Series Centennial Celebration this Saturday and Sunday, October 11 and 12.

The activities will include a World Series panel discussion on A Century of World Series Baseball. Authors Roger Abrams, who has written about the first Series in 1903, and David Pietrusza, who has written about the 1919 World Series, will participate in the panel in the Bullpen Theater, beginning at 11:30 am on Saturday the 11th. Admission to the World Series panel is free of charge.

Also, four Hall of Famers will be in Cooperstown this weekend. Bob Feller and Carlton Fisk will sign copies of the book, Baseball As America, on Saturday morning at 10:00 am. And then on Sunday the 12th, Lou Brock and Bill Mazeroski will sign books, again at 10:00 am.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to send me an e-mail at bmarkusen@baseballhalloffame.org or bmark@telenet.net.

Sounds like a good time - but Bruce wasn't the actual centennial series held in 1984? Viva le Providence Grays!

It makes for remarkable and sincere discourse.
