Pencil This In: Jonathan Eig Talks To Jim Abbott At Haymarket Pub & Brewery

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on May 14, 2012 4:20PM

Imperfect: An Improbable Life is the best-selling book of Jim Abbott's perseverance and determination to become a major league baseball pitcher, despite only having one hand. Abbott's drive and focus led to him winning a gold medal in the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics, two Big Ten baseball championships, the Sullivan Award as the best amateur athlete in the country, and a 10-year career in the big leagues that included two stints with the White Sox and a no-hitter as a New York Yankee against the Cleveland Indians in September 1993.

ChicagoSide's Jonathan Eig will interview Abbott tomorrow night from 7-9 p.m. at Haymarket Pub & Brewery. Doors open for this event at 6 p.m. and it's free to attend, but space is limited, so RSVP here.
