I've just been informed that I will be speaking at the New York Mets 50th Anniversary Conference at Hofstra University on April 26-28, 2012. I'm extremely honored to be a part of this historic conference. I'll be speaking on Marv Throneberry, who was for many the symbol of the Mets' lovable incompetence. I will also be signing my book, A Year in Mudville, at the event. Come on out!
