Author to Discuss his Bio of Cincinnati Reds Baseball Star Saturday at Bradenton's Central Library

BRADENTON -- Author Mitchell Stinson will discuss his book ”Edd Roush: A Biography of the Cincinnati Reds Star“ during a Friends of the Central Library program this Saturday.

The program will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25, in the library’s conference room on the second floor. The Central Library is located at 1301 Barcarrota Boulevard along the Manatee River.

The event is free and seating is available on a first come, first serve basis.

Roush began his 18-year Major League Baseball career with the Chicago White Sox in 1913, though the bulk of his career was spent with the Cincinnati Reds. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.

Also at the library, the Friends of the Central Library’s Fall Book Sale is currently ongoing. Here are the book sale hours:
