Another Great Presentation at Bergino Clubhouse With John Malangone

There was another great presentation at the fabulous Bergino Clubhouse (67 East 11th Street in New York City) this past week, when John Malangone talked of his incredible life, which has been recounted in a book called “Pinstripes And Penance,” with Mike Harrison.

The new book is a great companion to the fabulous 2007 documentary by Bruce Gilbert, which was shown the other night before both Malangone and Harrison provided entertaining and heartfelt stories about Mr. Malangone’s incredible life.

John Malangone has overcome a childhood tragedy, that haunted him for most of his life, to accomplish a great deal and thankfully has come to grips with the events of his life.

It was a very revealing evening detailing Malangone’s life which included the fact he was a hard hitting minor league catcher in the Yankees’ organization.

I truly look forward to reading the book which is chock of full of great baseball stories as Malangone met the likes and has stories about such baseball luminaries as Mickey Mantle, Earl Weaver and Billy Martin.

John above, is pictured in the middle of two great catchers, Bill Dickey to his right and Mickey Cochrane to his left.
