The focus of this great event series is multi-level and multi-purposed,  since this country has been racially-divided and most recently certain incidents having have inflamed the current social unrest, honoring this man Bud Fowler  and creating a directive of getting him into the Baseball   Hall of Fame as  induction is his right based on his performance, and will educate the public at large to this amazing man’s baseball contribution as a player and organizer, and will serve to bring Harmony and togetherness throughout the country based on his story of overcoming terrible racial obstacles,  and his several achievements on the baseball field,  that really have yet to be promoted or even understood in the modern-day era and  context. 

This subject matter is very relevant today and very relevant to the Chairman of NYSAB, Alan Action,  because I purchased the First National Bank of New York which is in Fort Plain the hometown of Bud Fowler and I plan to use the bank as a focal point of organization for the event series that I will be schedule tentatively for the weekend of September 10^th, 11^th and 12^th.  NYSAB’s initial plan is to develop the bank as a social hall for honoring Bud Fowler and creating a “wall of fame” in his honor with different artifacts and artwork that will be created honoring this man’s baseball achievements. Additionally,  the bank will serve as a formal location for 2 or more Galas that NYSAB will plan for two evenings September 10^th and 11^th, coinciding with the 20^th year Anniversary of the 911 tragedy in NYC,  and  there will be formal Gala events planned that will promote our sponsors and will recognize all the sponsors families in a beautiful setting at the bank. Since the background of Alan  is in the entertainment area, as partner and Marketing Director  with Dangerfield’s in NYC for over 10 years, many many entertainment stars will participate and perform, at the Galas, and we are planning a Comedy Event, Fashion Shows and other breakthrough events based on our NYC affiliates and the affiliates of our marketing partners throughout the years.    

Alan Action our chairman  personally been involved in the entertainment business for over 35 years and have produced over 10,000 successful events involving movies movie stars comedians bar and Bat Mitzvah’s corporate events weddings and big product launches and this event will bring all my experience to Bear to bring all the sponsors all the components that I have learned in the last 35 years for a successful  extravaganza honoring this great man and bringing Focus to the petitioning  of the hall of fame veterans committee to eventually  induct This man into the Hall of Fame.   

The event will be scheduled from September 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th (subject to change and to be determined) and will include several activities throughout those days utilizing possibly Little Falls New York Baseball Field Complex headed and directed by   Travis Heiser the owner of the Diamond Dawgs Baseball Team.    

The Purpose of This Event, is to Promote Bud Fowler‘s baseball legacy and promote his critical role in pioneering baseball, dealing with racial injustice and how he overcame these injustices and other obstacles, and performed in Baseball at a high level, and because of these efforts and others he should be considered an integral part of baseball history and lore, and should be summarily indicted into the baseball Hall of Fame.
