    Russian-Jewish immigrant Eddie Gottlieb was Philadelphia's leading sports booking agent from the 1920s into the 1950s. Dubbed "the Mogul" for his business acumen, he helped form the NBA, signed Wilt Chamberlain to his first NBA contract, co-owning the Philadelphia Stars baseball team in the Negro Leagues and tried unsuccessfully to buy the Phillies. Drawing upon dozens of interviews and archival sources, and featuring more than fifty photographs, The Mogul vividly portrays Eddie Gottlieb's pivotal role in both Philadelphia and American sports history. Co-sponsored by the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. Includes brunch.
