SABR invites all members to present their research findings to their colleagues attending SABR42 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Oral presentations are expected to last 20 minutes, followed by a five minute question-and-answer period. Posters will be presented, with the author on-hand to discuss the work, during a poster session of 90 or so minutes, and will probably remain on display throughout the convention. Abstracts covering all aspects of ...

I won't know probably until SABR week - I have to see how my stomach's feeling.

A guy named "Jon Daniels" is listed too. No word if he's there looking for a 5th starter.

In Cleveland, eat at Johnny's on Fulton Rd (NOT the one downtown) -- one of the best restauarnts in the Midwest. Cleveland also has a pleasant Little Italy district at the foot of Mayfield Rd, near border w/ Cleveland Heights.

And don't miss the Great Lakes Brewery on 25th st in Ohio City. Drink an Elliot Ness for me.

Get a bunch of grillables at West Side Market, then go to my friend Tom's house in Cleveland Heights. He'll put you up for the night and grill your food.

I really wish that SABR realized how much interest in SABR BTF creates. I think that BTF is responsible for a huge portion of SABR's membership that is under age 40.

Also the wife and kid will be there as well.

Sean,
mine too. My wife is originally from Cleveland, so perhaps while you and I are SABRing, they might be interested in some sightseeing?

Alas, I was angling for a last minute registration but an obligation just won't go away. I have to be in Vancouver, BC beginning on June 29th, and I am loathe to be away from my wife any longer than necessary.

Have a great time and I expect a full report of the proceedings.......

Some in the 40-50 age range as well. Unfortunately, I will not attend. Maybe next year.

I didn't want to short change those not in my demographic (though I'll be there soon enough). I just figured that they were more likely to have heard of SABR prior to frequenting BTF.

It was through SABR that I heard of BTF. I won't bore any of you with the story unless there is alot of demand for it.

Hi All,

I've been wondering what can be done to defend Barry Bonds, in addition to the articles that I have already written.

This weekend I realized that the upcoming Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) annual national conference will be taking place in Cleveland from June 26-29th and that it might be the best location to try to get out the word about the blacklisting of Barry Bonds. We could have table(s) and flyers at the event as well as publicity leading up to the event. We might even consider trying to get SABR to allow us to make a presentation - or - privately set up a room where a presentation can be made.

I realize that most of you are scatterered all over the country and that this idea has come at a late date, but it is an opportunity to be at a location where we could make some impression on the baseball community. I have begun contacting people who might be interested in assisting in this effort and am beginning to get some response.

What do you think? Can it be done? Are you interested in helping?

No way I can make the convention, but I told him I would do what i could to get the word out. I really hope you do take part Chris.

Has SABR ever met in Tampa? Or better yet, Orlando? A SABR meeting during the draft seems like a natural pairing.

So did I. I told him no, thanks.

List of SABR conventions. They've been to Florida once, St. Pete's in 2000. I've spoken to some who went there and they say it was the worst one ever. I don't think that was because it was in Florida, but more because it was the last convention before they instituted double-blind review for all presentation submissions. (And apparently that's the convention that showed they were necessary).

Than again, going to Florida in the middle of summer has its own downsides, if you think about what the weather might have been like.

The main goal for SABR is to meet where there's a baseball gmae, preferably a MLB game.

Hey I'll be there too, though I signed up too late to make the list.

That should drive a few more people away.

Those are the national conventions, Doc. There are chapters in Orlanda and Tampa. I'm not sure how often they meet. I go to at least a couple of regional meetings a year in New England.

Wow, there's a 14-year-old presenter. He's the real Boy Wonder.
