BENGIE MOLINA

A SPECIAL EVENING OF FAMILY & BASEBALL WITH BENGIE MOLINA
FORMER MAJOR LEAGUE CATCHER & GOLD GLOVE WINNER
SHARES A FAMILY MEMOIR PERFECT FOR FATHERS DAY

Sunday, May 31st, 7:00pm at HARPO'S 136 Hilltown Village Center, Chesterfield 63017, former Major League Baseball catcher Bengie Molina comes to Cardinal country to share the amazing and emotional story of his father, who against all odds, raised the greatest baseball dynasty of all time. Molina's presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing of his newly released book MOLINA: The Story of the Father Who Raised an Unlikely Baseball Dynasty. There will also be a drawing for sports related door prizes.

Harpo's doors open at 6:00pm for food and drinks with the presentation starting at 7:00pm.

MOLINA reveals the inspiring story of Benjamin Molina Santana, a poor Puerto Rican factory worker, who against all odds raised Bengie and his two brothers...José and six-time All-Star Cardinals' fan-favorite Yadier to become famous catchers in the Major Leagues and have six World Series championships among them...the most accomplished siblings in baseball history.

Just in time for Father's Day gift-giving, and written with the emotional power of a sports classic, Molina's beautiful memoir shares how his father used baseball to teach all three sons about loyalty, humility, courage, and the true meaning of success; from rutted Little League fields in a Puerto Rican barrio, to the champagne-soaked clubhouses of World Series Championships.

"This book is a must-read for all parents who want to teach their children the skills of the game while making sure they know that their skills away from the diamond are just as important." --Ron Darling

"Throughout the book, wonderful stories are combined with fascinating insights. I have read Molina three times to fully appreciate its many important messages. Molina will touch you on many levels. You will love it." --Tony La Russa

Benjamin José "Bengie" Molina is a former Major League Baseball player who has played for the Anaheim Angels; the Toronto Blue Jays; and the San Francisco Giants. Both of Molina's brothers, Yadier and José, are also Major League catchers. Bengie holds two World Championship rings, and two Gold Glove Awards. He is now the first base coach and catching instructor for the Texas Rangers. MOLINA will be published in May and copies will be available for purchase at the event.

A portion of proceeds from all tickets will be donated to a local St. Louis charity.
