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.

Where:  Holiday Inn Rosslyn at Key Bridge
1900 North Fort Myer Drive
Arlington, VA  22209-1602
Phone:  (703) 807-2000

How much: $31 for SABR members and guests; $16 for students.  Cost includes a lunch buffet (menu details available soon, but you know it’s always good).   You may pay by cheque or PayPal.

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.

Hear Joe Torre on February 15
 

JOE TORRE: Managing Major League Baseball

Wednesday, February 15, 7:00 P.M.

“Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play as a team is another story.” ~ Casey Stengel

What makes a great baseball manager? Although few can recite baseball managerial records, the legendary Casey Stengel remains an icon for all fans. Like Stengel, Joe Torre managed the Yankees and the Mets, the Dodgers, and the Braves—as well as the Cardinals.

Torre, currently Major League Baseball’s executive vice president of Baseball Operations, spent twenty-nine years as a major league manager, and led the Yankees to six pennants and four World Series championships in twelve seasons.

This evening, he provides an insider’s look at managing a major league baseball team. Appearing with Torre are Mike Wise of the Washington Post, Johnny Holliday from Nats Xtra, and SABR’s own Phil Wood, Washington Examiner columnist and sports commentator on MidAtlantic Sports Network. The discussion is moderated by another SABR member, Phil Hochberg, former Washington Senators stadium announcer.

QUICK TIX CODE: 1F0-162

Resident Members $20; Senior Members $18; Gen. Admission $40
