Yogi Berra Museum Presents “Make Me Commissioner”: Book Talk & Signing with Author Jane Leavy

The Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center, an NJCH grantee, will present a book talk and signing with Jane Leavy, author of the new book MAKE ME COMMISSIONER: I Know What’s Wrong With Baseball and How to Fix It.

Jane Leavy, baseball’s preeminent writer, hardly recognizes the game she loves anymore. Relentless pursuit of competitive edges on and off the field have killed the essential charms of the great game, chewed up some of its best talent, and left fans to root for little more than algorithms yielding fractional advantages and analytically dictated efficiencies.

Now, join Leavy on a behind-the-scenes road trip through the far corners of the baseball world as she sets out to uncover how the game broke, and to find the people and the ideas that just might bring it back in MAKE ME COMMISSIONER: I Know What’s Wrong With Baseball and How to Fix It.

Signed Copies of MAKE ME COMMISSIONER: I Know What’s Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It are available for purchase for $40. Admission to the Museum and program are included with the purchase of a signed copy.
