SUMMARY:For the Love of the Game: Baseball panel at Fairfield Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Town Librarian Scott Jarzombek (a die-hard Mets fan\, himself) moderates a discussion of everything baseball with two dedicated fans\, former Little League coach Matt McGuire and MLB.com reporter Michael Clair. \nMatt\, whose four sons kept him involved in Fairfield Little League for 15 years as a coach\, commissioner\, board member and president\, is the author of Fairfield American: a Legacy of Little League Dreams (2025).  A friend called the book “a love letter to Little League baseball\,” and Matt couldn’t agree more\, citing his experiences with his boys in the ballpark as some of the greatest moments in his life. \nIn addition to reporting on international baseball and the World Baseball Classic for MLB.com\, Michael Clair has written We Sacrifice Everything to Baseball:  How the Czech Republic’s Amateur Underdogs Became World Baseball Classic Heroes (2026).  The book tells the story of how the Czech Republic’s team of amateur players–firefighters\, teachers\, and even field caretakers by day–upset both Spain and then China to win the 2023 World Baseball Classic through teamwork\, sacrifice\, and self-belief. \nCome share an evening of discussion about America’s most beloved pastime\, focusing on the pure love of the game. \nCopies of both books will be available for purchase.  Advance registration is appreciated.
