Commonwealth Club

The Commonwealth Club of California seems to meet every week, but I'm not sure about that. They usually have a speaker, most of whom are particularly famous. For example, Bud Selig will be speaking before the club tonight at 8 PM maybe. At any rate, it will be hella interesting to hear what he has to speak about. It's going to be on at 8 pm on KQED-FM, 88.5, if any of you are interested.

I originally heard about the club because the local college radio station in Atlanta, WRAS 88.5 broadcasts one of their speeches with the QA session afterwards on Wednesdays at 10 a.m., and today was Frank Deford talking about how the 1905 New York Giants had an effect on modern baseball, between crafty John McGraw, and Christy Matthewson. I never realized that they had speakers talking about baseball, but when I checked the homepage, lo and behold, Bud Selig, Mr. Baseball Games Can Too End In A Tie himself is there tonight.

Take that and run with it... I hope they have the archive audio up pretty quickly after the talk ends.
