Dan Shulman, Dave Bidini and Mike Wilner to headline PITCH #2: Unraveling the game.

The first PITCH event with Shi Davidi and John Lott sold out and we are happy to announce the lineup for PITCH #2: Unraveling the game.

PITCH: Talks On Baseball is a new speaker series. Think TED Talks with grass stains.

Our mission is to connect with the growing crowd of sophisticated baseball enthusiasts in Toronto by facilitating informed and entertaining discussions on the game we love. The format is broad and flexible and can include storytelling, presentations, debate, panels and lectures and is at the discretion of the guest speaker.

Every PITCH will include an interactive open question period with the speaker.
