Author Steve Treder

When New York Giants owner Charles A. Stoneham came home one night in 1918 and told his teenage son, Horace, "Horrie, I bought you a ballclub," he set in motion a family legacy. Horace Stoneham would become one of baseball's greatest figures, an owner who played an essential role in integrating the game, and who was a major force in making our pastime truly national by bringing Major League Baseball to the West Coast.

Horace Stoneham began his tenure with the Giants in 1924 and assumed control of the team at age thirty in 1936, becoming one of the youngest owners in baseball history. He played a pivotal role in not just his team's history but the game itself.

As the SF Giants head for a pennant win (we hope!), come meet Steve Treder -- the author of this absorbing biography -- and join us for peanuts and Cracker Jacks, as well as a cold brew. (The game that night doesn't start until 7 o'clock ☺️)
