X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Phil Coffin\, a Point Pleasant Beach resid
 ent\, longtime editor at The New York Times\, and a member of the Society 
 for American Baseball Research since 1994\, will discuss his books: <em>Wh
 en Baseball Was Still Topps</em>&nbsp\;and the recently published <em>A Ba
 seball Book of Days</em>.</p>\n<p>In <em>When Baseball Was Still Topps</em
 >\, essays on every one of the 572 cards in the 1959 Topps set tell storie
 s about the players\, the game and the times in mid-20th&nbsp\;century bas
 eball. There&rsquo\;s the slugger who had his arms around Marilyn Monroe &
 ndash\; before Joe DiMaggio did. Mickey Mantle&rsquo\;s 10 longest home ru
 ns\, and the pitcher who never got over giving up one of them. The pitcher
  from Mayberry. And many more.</p>\n<p><em>A Baseball Book of Days</em>&nb
 sp\;is an Advent calendar of baseball history\, using 31 dates to detail b
 aseball moments serious (Jackie Robinson&rsquo\;s first game) or light-hea
 rted (the only game of the 3-foot-7-inch Eddie Gaedel or for Moonlight Gra
 ham) or historical (the debut of the first of 1\,000 Dominican ballplayers
  and the last major league team to integrate).</p>\n<p>Phil will have copi
 es of both books for sale.</p>\nhttps://theoceancountylibrary.libnet.info/
