Nerd Nite North Bay #11: Indie Baseball, Free Law and Hamilton Airfield

FunnyBall
Experiments and Business in Independent Baseball

Hear how the local Sonoma Stompers ended up on NPR, fulfill (and crush) baseball dreams, and learn about the day to day work reality needed to juggle business ops with OPS and squeeze out success in the wildly misnamed “Business of Baseball”. While even Billy Beane’s Moneyball A’s spent fifty three million dollars, discover how the freedom to experiment on a shoestring budget makes independent baseball in America’s small towns the new, true laboratory of baseball.

Theo Fightmaster oversees baseball and business operations for the Sonoma Stompers Professional Baseball Club, a job that includes ticket sales, merchandising, public relations, front office management, corporate partnerships and a dozen other hats.

Legal Justice League
Free Law in The Age of Ultr-a Expensive Lawyers

Getting a divorce, writing a will, wrangling with a landlord, or filing another lawsuit against Barack Obama for implanting spy devices in your brain is expensive. Public law libraries and lawyer-librarians are your free one-stop-shop for all legal problems. Find out about the huge financial (and no so large legal) differences between paid and free legal services, and find out what the free legal library can do to make your legal shenanigans look a lot less shenanigan-y.

Coral Henning is the Director of the Sacramento County Public Law Library and has worked in County law libraries for 30 years. She has a J.D. from GGU School of Law and a MLIS from San Jose State University. Recently she went to Pickle, Kraut, and Fermentation school and is starting an artisan pickle business.
