Baltimore Speaker Series

Lisa Ling, who's coming to town tomorrow for Stevenson University's Baltimore Speakers Series, had already been an international reporter for nine years when, at age 25, she was picked as one of the cohosts of The View on ABC.  After a few years of that, she returned to reporting, hosted National Geographic Explorer, reported as special correspondent for the Oprah Winfrey Show--and now has her own show, Our America, on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Maryland-based author Paul Dickson chronicles the life of one of baseball's most colorful characters and legends, the showman, promoter and multi-team owner, Bill Veeck. It was Veeck who, after failing to make the St. Louis Browns a success and force the Cardinals out of that town, sold the franchise to a Baltimore group that brought Major League Baseball to Charm City in 1954. But that's just a small part of the Veeck story. Paul Dickson is the author of " Bill Veeck: Baseball's Greatest Maverick."
