Wish we were not inconvenienced by distance and the random cost of air travel to faraway baseball paradise. For those of us in Houston and other places far away from Burbank, California, next Tuesday night would be a great time for deep blue baseball fans to take advantage of another wonderful presentation by Terry Cannon of the Baseball Reliquary – and this time, as the Astros celebrate their own pursuit of players, players like the recently signed hitter, Yulie Gurriel – and now his little unsigned teenage brother – it would behoove us all to learn more about the rich story of baseball on the island nation. Here’s the e-mail we received this afternoon from Terry and the links to more he has to say about the upcoming book presentation, book sale, and event. For those of you with private planes, the contact information for event planner Terry Cannon is included:
