Journalism Professor Chronicles MLB Commissioner Ford Frick
John Carvalho's first book arrived Nov. 9.
When George Plasketes, professor and associate director of media studies at Alabama’s Auburn University, introduced colleague Dr. John P. Carvalho (pictured) at a Nov. 28 book event, he wore a Stan Musial jersey. Because that player was his father’s favorite.
