Cleveland Indians historian Scott Longert visits the Firestone Park Branch Library to discuss his latest book Bad Times, Bad Boys, about the Indians in the prewar years, 1939-1944.
Scott Longert has spent many years in the history field serving as the Sports Archivist for the Western Reserve Historical Society and Site Manager for Shandy Hall, an 1815 home in northeast Ohio. Scott was a Park Ranger for the National Park Service, stationed at the James A. Garfield National Historic Site until his recent retirement.
Scott's other books about the Indians include The Best They Could Be, No Money; No Beer, No Pennants: The Cleveland Indians and Baseball in the Great Depression; and Addie Joss: King of the Pitchers.
In addition to writing, Scott is an accomplished speaker. He spoke at the 100th-anniversary ceremony of Addie Joss's perfect game, held on the grounds of historic League Park.
Friends of the Richfield Branch Library are holding a Fall Book Sale. Stock up on items to take on those fall trips or prepare to cozy up as the nights get longer and colder.
