Join
us for a party for a “local boy,” Matthew McGough of Philipse Manor in
Sleepy Hollow (now of NYC), who’s made it good twice — first, when without connections,
he became a bat boy for the Yankees, and now with a critically well-received memoir,
Bat Boy (Doubleday, 2005), much of it written during a residency at Yaddo.
He has a law degree, but his love of writing is winning out, and Bat Boy is likely
to be just the beginning of his literary career.
Admission free
