Left Bank Books welcomes St. Louis’ award-winning sports columnist Benjamin Hochman, who will discuss his new book, 11 in ’11: A Hometown Hero, La Russa’s Last Ride in Red, and a Miracle World Series for the St. Louis Cardinals, on their Facebook Live Page at 7 p.m. 11 in ’11 is a thoroughly reported chronicle of an unparalleled season, packed with interviews with key players, team executives, broadcasters, and more. Go inside the front office to see how this roster was constructed; relive the blistering final stretch of the regular season which saw the team winning 20 of its last 28 games; experience the palpable energy of Busch Stadium during Game 6, where Hochman watched enthralled as a fan.

Hochman will be in conversation with St. Louis native and Co-host of STL-TV’s St. Louis-themed talk show “Close Up” Angela Hochman.
