Annual Chapter Meeting on Deck for February |
|
39th Annual Meeting of the Bob Davids Chapter
The first chapter of the Society
“The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love.” ~Bryant Gumbel
Because of the conflict with the Washington Nationals FanFest on January 26, our annual meeting will be moved back one week. We sincerely thank everyone whose input led to this decision and apologize for anyone we have inconvenienced. We will celebrate SABR Day in spirit.
When: Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013, from 9:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
Who:
-
Tim Kurkjian, television baseball analyst on ESPN's Baseball Tonight and SportsCenter. He contributes to ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com and is a frequent guest on the Mike and Mike in the Morning radio show.
-
Sean Forman, founder and president of baseball reference.com, the definitive on-line baseball reference.
-
Tim Wendel, author of nine books, including High Heat, Summer of ’68 and Castro’s Curveball.
-
Research—Presentations by chapter members Paul Haas and Bill Hickman and guest from the Connie Mack chapter, Brian Englehardt will give additional research presentations.
In addition, there will be:
-
Baseball trivia—Always fun, especially if you know the answer.
-
Vendors of baseball books and related material—With many of the authors available for autographing.
-
Camaraderie—Mingle with SABR friends. Make new ones. Event is open to members, non-members, and guests.
-
Raffle—Here’s a way to help the chapter stay in the black: Go home with baseball books and other hard-to-find items. Tickets are still only $1 each or 10 tickets for $5. This year will be special because of numerous items donated to us from the Bob McConnell estate.

Why: It’s a Bob Davids Chapter tradition and has now become our official annual business meeting and election of officers. (You have our word—the housekeeping will be kept to a minimum.) Save this new date on your calendar and plan to join us.
