Football is an OK filler for some. Hockey and basketball have their place and having an MLB channel on TV is great and all, but we’ve got what you know you need: Baseball and baseball in a great format! You are hereby invited to the annual meeting of the Bob Davids Chapter, the 37th such.

What: A gathering of a Triple Baseball SABR Convergence -
1.) The chapter’s annual meeting. If you've never been, please come join us. You'll never want to miss.
2.) Celebration of National SABR Day. SABR chapters around the world will be meeting on this same day. The national office is mounting a concerted effort to raise the profile of the organization and we are proud to be a part of that effort.
3.) Approval of chapter By-Laws and Election of Officers. The Bob Davids Chapter continues to grow and so do the responsibilities. A draft of the proposed document for ratification will be sent to members in the next few days.

When: Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010 from 9:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.

Who:
  • Scott McGregor – All-Star left-handed pitcher for the Orioles from 1976 to 1988. Scott pitched twice in the World Series and is currently the pitching coach for the Aberdeen Iron Birds. An ordained minister, Scott is an accomplished public speaker.
  • Nationals Assistant GM Bryan Minniti
  • Dave Smith – Entertaining research which answers questions asked of Dave by the baseball media in 2009. Dave is a chapter member.
  • Mike Henderson – Mike, also a chapter member, blogs about the Nationals at http://www.nationalspride.com/columnists/?blog=hendo and will talk about the newly-retooled team and its prospects for the upcoming season.
  • Research – A few more presentations by members, representing the essence of SABR. If you would like to make a brief research presentation, please submit your idea to Barry Sparks at bsparks243@aol.com.
In addition, there is likely to be:
- Baseball trivia – Might be trivial; might be important.
- Regional baseball authors – With their works available
- Camaraderie – Mingle with SABR friends. Make new ones.
- Vendors of baseball books and related material
- Raffle, where you could go home with baseball books and other items (many hard-to-find ones) while helping to raise funds for the chapter by your participation. A raffle tickets is still only an inflation-busting $1 or 10 tickets for $5.
