This is just too incredible to describe ...
Before the arrival of "Magic" Johnson, there was another "Magic" -- also known as "Earl the Pearl." He was Earl Monroe, a dazzling ballhandler and one-on-one virtuoso who made crowds gasp with his slashing drives to the hoop.
NBA legend and Hall of Famer, "Earl the Pearl" Monroe will be a guest at Chelsea Piers for An Evening of Discovery. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a basketball that he autographs and personalizes before your very eyes. AND, as though that's not enough in and of itself, he will also sign and personalize his newly released autobiography, Earl the Pearl: My Story. After the signing, "Earl the Pearl" will pose for a photo opportunity with you!
Special Instructions
Package includes:
- Personalized, autographed basketball
- Personalized autographed copy of Monroe's newly-released autobiography Earl the Pearl: My Story
- Meet and Greet / photo opportunity with Earl the Pearl Monroe
Earl the Pearl: My Story retraces Monroe’s life from his upbringing in a tough South Philadelphia neighborhood through his record-setting days at Winston-Salem State, to his NBA Rookie of the Year season in 1967, his tremendous years with the Baltimore Bullets and ultimately his redemptive, championship glory with the New York Knicks. The book culminates with a revealing epilogue in which Monroe reflects on the events of the past 40 years, offers his insights into the NBA today, and his thoughts on the future of the game he loves.
