Author Series: Mark Braff

Join us in the Hall of Fame Bullpen Theater to discuss the book Sons of Baseball: Growing Up With a Major League Dad. Mark Braff offers a rare look at professional ballplayers—not as pitchers, hitters, managers, and coaches—but as fathers and grandfathers. For the book, Braff interviewed 18 men who share their exclusive stories, ballpark memories, and the challenges and rewards of having fathers whose talents assisted them in reaching the heights of pro baseball.

With a foreword by Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. and interviews with the sons of beloved players like Yogi Berra, Mariano Rivera, Roger Maris, Gil Hodges, and Larry Doby, the book provides a unique, well-rounded perspective on the lives of professional ballplayers and their families.
