SUMMARY:Hall of Fame DNA: The Legacy of Norman 'Turkey' Stearnes
DESCRIPTION:Registration is NOT REQUIRED. Register for email and/or text 
 reminders.\n\nJoin us in welcoming Vanessa Ivy Rose for a discussion about 
 her book\, *Hall of Fame DNA: The Legacy of Norman "Turkey" Stearnes*. The 
 story of Norman "Turkey" Stearnes is one of greatness hidden in plain 
 sight. According to baseball statistics and his four Hall of Fame 
 inductions\, he ranks among the all-time greats\, yet many people have 
 never heard of him. In this unique blend of sports biography and memoir\, 
 Rose presents a compelling narrative. Written as a conversation with Turkey 
 himself\, she reveals what makes her grandfather an unforgettable legend\, 
 both on and off the field.\n\nVanessa Rose is an author\, storyteller\, and 
 educator.  In honor of her grandfather's baseball legacy\, she has hosted 
 ABC's award-winning podcast\, "Reclaimed: The Forgotten League\," and 
 written a book titled "Hall of Fame DNA: The Legacy of Norman 'Turkey' 
 Stearns." Her work has been featured on platforms such as CNN\, GMA3\, 
 NPR\, Bally Sports\, and ESPN's 30 for 30 podcast channel. She has also 
 been invited to speak for various professional baseball organizations\, as 
 well as at the Detroit Historical Museum and the Hamtramck Historical 
 Museum.\n\n \n\nAs an athlete\, Vanessa has been featured in Sports 
 Illustrated. She played basketball in Barcelona and received a Division I 
 scholarship.   One of the collegiate teams she played on has been 
 recognized in the school's Athletic Hall of Fame.  In addition to her 
 accomplishments in sports\, Vanessa is an educator with multiple degrees\, 
 including a Master's in Teaching and a B.A. in Communication.
