Welcome to the new home page of SABR Boston chapter. This is the local Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research. The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) was established in Cooperstown, New York in August, 1971. Our mission is to foster the study of baseball past and present, and to provide an outlet for educational, historical and research information about the game.

We invite you to browse the resources available on our site, including list of Boston Chapter members books, websites and projects.

If you are interested in joining SABR or the SABR Boston Chapter, go to the national site. If you would like to attend a meeting (you need not be a member, though we highly recomemend you join), check back on the "Chapter News" section of this site to find out when the next meeting is scheduled. The Boston chapter is a very active chapter, we get together for a chapter meeting few times a year, and have casual meet ups. A formal chapter meeting  typically features a guest speaker and a program of prepared presentations by members, lunch and raffle. We've had such guest speakers as: BIll James, Jerry Trupiano, and Joe Morgan in the past few years to name a few.

The Boston Chapter, most often convenes at The Baseball Tavern, 1270 Boylston Stree, Boston. That is right across the Boylston Street from Gate B of the Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. We have also convened at McGreevey's, Friends Meeting in Cambridge, Boston Public Library, Fenway Park, and Boston University. See more in the "past events" section.
