Former Emporian’s baseball book draws movie interest

A book tied to Emporia

“Brown Enough,” written by a former Emporian, is drawing interest as a possible movie. The development connects the book to Emporia’s baseball history and adds another chapter to the city’s record of involvement with the sport.

The Emporia Gazette reported on the book’s growing interest as a film project. The report identifies the work by title and describes its connection to a former Emporian.

Baseball and the city

Emporia is known in the book’s story through its baseball legacy. “Brown Enough” places that history in a work that is now receiving attention beyond its original format.

The movie interest is a development around the book, not a completed film release. The available report does not establish that a movie has been produced or set for release.

What comes next

The next steps would include determining whether the interest becomes a formal movie project. Those steps could involve a decision to acquire adaptation rights, develop a screenplay or move the project toward production.

For now, the confirmed development is that “Brown Enough” has drawn interest as a movie while continuing the former Emporian’s connection to baseball in Emporia.
