A Glove Of Their Own - Roadtrip To The Little League World Series
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SO YOU CAN GET TO IT AT A LATER DATE:
The Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum in Williamsport, Pennsylvania has announced that the authors and chief marketing offficer around the award-winning book, A Glove Of Their Own, will be appearing at the museum during this year's Little League World Series, August 20-22. Actually, the museum itself didn't make the announcement. It's impossible for a large structure that is not living and has no vocal chords to make sound, aside from your traditional creaks and bumps in the night due to natural settling. So, really, it was an unnamed spokesperson who made this announcement. "Apologies for leading you on," said a spokesperson for the spokesperson of the Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. "Our intention was not for you to take us so literally. But you did. Mea culpa."
"Also, when I said 'the authors and chief marketing officer around the award-winning book, A Glove Of Their Own, will be appearing,' I don't want you to think the word 'appearing' means they'll be doing some sort of show, like fire juggling or a 45-minute song and dance routine inspired by 'Pippin.' I don't think they've ever seen 'Pippin' and am unsure if anyone knows anything about that show other than its ridiculous name. I mean seriously, what is a 'Pippin'?"
The spokesperson's spokesperson, who is quite tall for a dwarf, continued droning away, stating that authors Debbie Moldovan and Keri Conkling and CMO Bob Salomon will not be appearing out of the blue either. "They will most likely walk here. You won't see a huge PUFF of purple smoke and hear a collective, 'Whoa, there they are!' That's about as possible as a building speaking for itself. They'll get here on their own and then sign books and mingle. That point in time is an appearance, by definition, and those making the appearance are appearing, in this case two authors and that other guy."
Co-headling with Moldovan, Conkling and Salomon, neither of whom have ever been indicted, will be former MLB pitcher Dick "No Rocky IV Jokes, Please" Drago, who doesn't like to be referred to as the brother of Rocky's nemesis, Ivan Drago, from Rocky IV, played in the film by Dolph Lundgren. "I've never met Mr. Lundgren, nor Mr. Stallone," said Drago. "Although I do understand they're appearing together in a new film called 'The Expendables' right after this huge PUFF of onscreen purple smoke."
The books are available in the Museum's store or may be obtained using the code LLM444 online at: www.agloveoftheirown.com.
In a separate announcement, the spokesperson's spokesperson's spokesperson wanted you all to know Charles Dickens will not be signing copies of A Tale of Two Cities that same weekend.
