Dana Brand, author of "the Last Days of Shea" and "Mets Fan," will present readings and a discussion on the passion and enduring loyalty of baseball fans, especially Mets fans, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 26, at the Fairfield Museum and History Center. His collection of well-crafted essays spans more than 40 years of franchise history but hews to a single theme: the experience - sometimes humorous, sometimes painful - of being a fan of the New York Mets.
Dana Brand is a professor of English and American literature at Hofstra University. He received his Ph.D. from Yale, where he often talked baseball with A. Bartlett Giamatti, a Yale English professor who would go on to become the Commissioner of Baseball.
Pre-registration is requested. Fee: Members: $5, non-members:$8
