MFAH to host baseball discussion

The Chronicle's David Barron alerts readers to what should be some interesting baseball talk Saturday morning:

Curt Smith, whose book Voices of Summer we discussed recently, is in town for a Saturday morning lecture in conjunction with the Baseball Hall of Fame exhibit at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts.

Smith will discuss baseball and broadcasting with Astros announcers Milo Hamilton and Larry Dierker and Chronicle columnist Richard Justice at 11 a.m. Saturday at Brown Auditorium in the museum's Caroline Wiess Law Building.

The discussion — unless Richard starts telling Earl Weaver stories, at which point it becomes a monologue — is free of charge with admission to the museum ($7 for adults, $3.50 for seniors, students with IDs and children age 6-18).

I guess I should just give up with regard to the "chummy" personal nature of so much Chronicle writing. Tomorrow's conversation ought to be interesting to baseball fans.

On a related note, the Astros announced today that Milo Hamilton will cut back on the broadcasts next season, and will broadcast home games only.
