Our spring meeting is this Saturday, May 16, at the Seattle Pacific University library seminar room.

Here is some logistical guidance from our SPU host, Professor Bill Woodward:  "Access free parking from W Dravus St, three blocks south from the traffic signal at 3rd W and W Nickerson, as shown at http://spu.edu/info/maps/index.asp (Lot #45).  The Ames Library is immediately adjacent (Bldg #14); the Seminar Room is on the 2nd floor."

The meeting is from 12:00 – 5:00 PM.  Here is the anticipated agenda:

·         Ryan Divish - Q&A with the Seattle Times’ Mariners Beat Writer

·         Rob Neyer – Bill Murray’s Baseball Summer

·         Aren Kaser – Baseball and the Dominican Republic: A Path to the Academies

·         Lyle Wilson – A Photographic History of Washington’s African American Baseball Teams

·         Chuck Putnam – The Hit-Walk Combo: The Toughest Hitting Achievement in Major League History

Following the meeting, we will attend the Red Sox v. Mariners game.  It is a 6:10 start, and it is Turn Back the Clock—Negro Leagues Night.
