Summertime is here and that means two of our favorite past times: baseball and reading. Thanks to a wonderful new Miami Marlins event, now in its second year, you can have both at the same time. Catch a game and a book at the 2nd Annual Miami Marlins Book Swap Night.

Details are easy. Buy a ticket, bring a book and enjoy a wonderful literary event before the ballgame. This year the Marlins are playing the Atlanta Braves.

The ticket package includes a Marlins Book Swap Night tote bag, and access to a pregame panel at 5:30PM in their Blue Moon Brew Hall.

The program features New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, J Sterling. Author of “The Perfect Game” and “The Boys of Baseball” as well as USA Today bestselling author, Grace Reilly. Author of “Stealing Home” and “First Down.” Catch the theme?

The panel will be hosted by Elina & Amanda of Girl, Please! Podcast

What a wonderful event designed to inspire a new generation to gather in the name of books. And of course, baseball.

Hope to see you there!

Although there is no sound in this video, last year’s event sure looked cool.
