An Evening with John Feinstein
Backfield Boys: A Football Mystery in Black and White
Generously Sponsored by Ken and Felice Hassan
This presentation will discuss his
latest book, “Backfield Boys: A
Football Mystery in Black and
White,” among other current
topics in sports. His current book
follows freshman footballers
Jason Roddin and Tom Jefferson.
Jason is a blazing-fast widereceiver,
while his best friend Tom has all the skills a
standout quarterback needs. After summer football
camp at an elite sports-focused boarding school, the
boys are thrilled to be invited back with full-ride
scholarships. But on day one of practice, they’re
shocked when the team’s coaching staff makes Tom, a
black kid, a receiver and Jason, a white kid, a
quarterback.
A book-signing event will follow the lecture.
