Mark the fiftieth anniversary year of Vince Lombardi's first season with the Green Bay Packers with award-winning sports columnist John Eisenberg. In the late 1950s, the once-vaunted Green Bay Packers hadn't fielded a winning team in more than a decade and were in jeopardy of losing their franchise to another city. They were in need of a savior, and he arrived in the dead of winter from New York City. Find out how Vince Lombardi transformed a team of underachievers into winners and learn about the team's irresistible comeback story at this event!This event is part of the Milwaukee Book Festival.
