Rick Carpiniello\’s world of sports

Hot stove dinner

January
18

Need some baseball? Can’t wait for pitchers and catchers? Especially during the two-week break between football’s conference championships and its Super Bowl TV show?



The Baseball Writers Association of America’s 85th annual dinner is open to the public, Jan. 27 at the New York Hilton. Tickets are $225, which might be steep, but the guest list includes Yogi Berra plus two of the newest Hall of Famers, Goose Gossage and Dick Williams; most, if not all, of the BBWAA’s national award winners—Alex Rodriguez, Jimmy Rollins, C.C. Sabathia, Jake Peavy, Dustin Pedroia, Ryan Braun, Eric Wedge and Bob Melvin—who will get their awards that night; and those who won awards annually doled out by the BBWAA’s New York chapter—Craig Biggio, Johnny Damon, Billy Wagner, Joba Chamberlain, Bobby Murcer.



For information or tickets, call 201-871-5924.
