”Amazing Aaron to Zero Zippers” with 16-year-old author Matt Nadel

We’ve hosted Hall of Famers and Pulitzer Prize winners.  But never a 16-year-old author.  Until now.

Matt Nadel’s first book -- Amazing Aaron to Zero Zippers -- is an A-to-Z compendium of the best players, ballparks, teams, and moments in the history of the game.  Filled with stats and quick facts, and featuring over 50 iconic photographs, the book is a primer for baseball beginners, a resource for developing fans, and a treat for long-time devotees.  Special bonus: a foreword by Hall of Famer Jim Palmer.

All of Matt’s book proceeds will be donated to the ALS, Turn 2, Jackie Robinson, and Hall of Fame foundations.

Matt Nadel has written an MLB.com Pro Blog since he was 13-years-old.  He’s interviewed Yogi Berra, Hank Aaron, Bud Selig, Rob Manfred, Billy Crystal, President George W. Bush and many others.  Matt would like to interview every living President and Hall of Famer.  A 10th grader who resides in New Jersey, he aspires to be a baseball journalist and historian.  When not doing baseball research or working on his blog, Matt enjoys watching his beloved Yankees, playing video games, and eating chocolate ice cream with rice krispies.

On a March evening, Matt Nadel came to the Bergino Baseball Clubhouse for his first-ever book event.  In front of a standing-room-only crowd, Matt showed why he's a "can't-miss" prospect.  Listen in...
