Cleveland's Baseball Media Guide
Peggy Beck, Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2018
Did you ever wonder where all of the broadcasters, camera people, and front office people in the broadcasting business get their information? Peggy gave a fascinating explanation, then showed us a large selection of media guidebooks, many of which were collectors' items. She has first-hand knowledge of this field as she had written her Master's thesis on this topic.
