Thanks to his years of participation in the YANKEE LEGENDS Fantasy Camps, Carmine Gangone has developed quite a rapport with a number of key MLB alumni, the result of which is an intimate and friendly environment for these semi-regular dinners.
And that’s another thing, let’s not forget – these are dinners! It shouldn’t even have to be said, but where CARMINE’S “EVENINGS WITH BASEBALL LEGENDS” truly shine, especially when compared to other such affairs, is in the quality and quantity of food provided their guests. Fried calamari, sausage and peppers, penne pasta, veal marsala, and all in tremendous abundance. It’s the kind of grand culinary gesture that makes regular customers immediately of the event’s highly loyal following.
Beginning in 2006, The Gangones have been hosting their “EVENINGS WITH BASEBALL LEGENDS” for a variety of worthy causes, ranging anywhere from Smile Train, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and the Hope & Heroes Children's Cancer Fund to the funding of a scholarship at St. Francis College in Brooklyn, in memory of a dear friend – the late Arthur Curry. The more successful the dinners become, the more they put back into the effort to turn around and raise money on behalf of yet another worthy charity.

“EVENINGS WITH BASEBALL LEGENDS”
As far as the sports and memorabilia charity circuit goes, there are baseball dinners, and there are baseball dinners – but if truth be told, there aren’t any baseball dinners quite like the series of “EVENINGS WITH BASEBALL LEGENDS” that Carmine Gangone and his family host at their Williamsburg restaurant on a regular basis.
For one thing, those fortunate enough to attend these affairs really get to spend some quality time with some of the YANKEE and MET heroes who participate. Probably because special guests feel so comfortable here, they are always more than happy to pose for photos, sign autographs – heck, some have even been known to sit down and have a bite with you! Folks like Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Goose Gossage, Ron Blomberg, Mickey Rivers, Joe Pepitone, and many more.
