<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif;">My name is Vanessa Ivy Rose and I am a local author, educator and podcast host of ABC’s “Reclaimed: The Forgotten League” (which has just received a nomination for an NAACP Image Award). I am contacting
you to see if you have any interest in having a book talk and signing at your library. My latest book is entitled “Hall of Fame DNA: The Legacy of Norman “Turkey” Stearnes". I wrote this book in dedication to my grandfather “Turkey” Stearnes who is one of
the greatest baseball players of all time. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000 (and is also in three other halls of fame) and last year the Detroit Tigers gave away his jersey to 15,000 fans in celebration of the Turkey Stearnes
Centennial. Despite Grandpa Turkey’s accomplishments, he is one of the greatest baseball players many have never heard of because he played in the Negro Leagues due to Jim Crow segregation which excluded him from MLB. As of 2020, he and over 3,000 other Negro
Leaguers have been recognized by MLB as Major Leaguers. </span></p>
