Wiedemann’s Fine Beer will host the 37th annual Casey Awards banquet at its brewery complex in St. Bernard on Sunday, Aug. 30.
Presented by Spitball: The Literary Baseball Magazine, the Casey Awards honor the author and publisher of what Spitball magazine selects as the best baseball book of the year.
The winners for 2019 are author Jeremy Beer of Phoenix, Arizona, and the University of Nebraska Press for “Oscar Charleston: The Life and Legend of Baseball's Greatest Forgotten Player.”

"Sometimes a book appears that feels like the product of a miraculous archaeological dig, uncovering a largely forgotten community and its people, leaders, and legends,” Casey Awards judge Michael Leahy said in a press release issued by Wiedemann’s.
“Such is the power of Jeremy Beer's Oscar Charleston, his biography of the tragically little-known but extraordinary Negro League titan whose baseball talent ought to place him among the game's immortals,” he said
Jeremy Beer will be at Wiedemann’s to accept his award, speak about his subject and sign copies of his book.
Doors open at 1:30 p.m., with the event set to begin at 2 p.m.
A subscription to Spitball magazine for the remainder of 2020 is included in the $10 donation for admission.
