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

Previous PITCH speakers include: Dan Shulman (ESPN), Mike Wilner (Fan 590), Shi Davidi (Sportsnet, and John Lott (National Post).

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.
