A free Author Night program for all ages with Mark Langill, the Team Historian and Publications Editor of the Los Angeles Dodgers, will be presented in the Community Room on Thursday, February 17 at 7:00 p.m. Langill, a native of South Pasadena, is the author of 4 baseball-related books: "Dodgertown," "Dodger Stadium," "Los Angeles Dodgers," "Game of My Life, Dodgers.” Prior to joining the Dodger front office in 1994, Langill covered the team for five seasons as the beat reporter for the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group, which includes the Pasadena Star-News and San Gabriel Valley Tribune. Langill has appeared on both radio and television to discuss Dodger history, including the MLB Network production of “Cathedrals of the Game: Dodger Stadium” and most recently on ESPN’s “30-for-30” documentary “Fernando Nation.” The free Author Night program for all ages will outline how a light-hitting, bench-riding Little Leaguer eventually parlayed his passion for baseball into a professional career, along the way discovering how the history of a sports franchise can unite communities and generations.
