Join us on March 23, 2025, from 12–2 PM at Black Dog Books for a special book signing with local author Chris Jensen!

His latest book, Baseball’s Two-Way Greats: Pitching/Batting Stars from Ruth and Rogan to Ohtani, is the first to explore the entire history of two-way baseball players—from the 19th century to today. This comprehensive work proves that Shohei Ohtani and Babe Ruth aren’t the only legends to dominate both the mound and the batter’s box!

📚 Don't miss this exciting event—it's also the final day of the Indie Indy Book Crawl, running March 20–23!
