The evening features baseball spotting cards with prizes, trope voting, a book swap, book bedazzling, a baseball duck hunt, photo moments, and plenty of lighthearted, respectful people-watching. Guests are encouraged to bring a favorite baseball romance and a fun ballpark outfit, whether arriving with friends or flying solo to meet other readers.
