University of Maryland!

Tom “Big Bat” Fesolowich talks to the crowd about Vintage Baseball and the local-area teams playing it. Tom is a member of the Casey Stengel chapter and made the trip to speak with us. Thanks Tom! #SABR #SABRDay

Jane’s always entertaining. So glad she’s here today.

I got Tim Raines and Tom Glavine!

A great crowd for the Bob Davids chapter’s annual SABR Day meeting. The threat of bad weather can’t keep a good crowd down.

Up early for the Baltimore Babe Ruth chapter’s #SABRDay meeting. They do a great meeting every year. The room’s packed and we’ve just barely started. #SABR

This is always a great meeting!

That was 90 minutes well spent! I'm looking forward to reading about the other attorneys who we didn't cover in this morning's meeting.

I think we all learned a lot this morning - looking forward to reading this!

Today’s long-lost bookmark, found.

So, a new pope….the big question is, is he a Cubs or a White Sox fan?

A great talk this morning. Pete Browning is buried in the same cemetery in Louisville as Muhammad Ali and Colonel Harlan Sanders of KFC fame. A beautiful place to visit if you're down that way and into that sort of thing (I am).

Melissa Ludtke and WP writer Ava Wallace talking about Melissa’s book “Locker Room Talk” at Wonderland Books in Bethesda MD. Melissa has a great story, always delivered in an insightful and entertaining way.

Will's a good speaker. This was his first SABR talk, but he'll be speaking to other SABR chapters in the coming days and weeks.

This is always a good meeting.

A great way to start the weekend!

This is always a great event! And big shout-outs to @notmrtibbs.com, @tonycal.bsky.social, and @shutthedore.bsky.social for their great work every year with the HOF Tracker. This helps get some of us through the cold Winter!

Happy Hanukkah!

Merry Christmas to All!

My old modems are going to go live on a farm!

The benefit of going thru boxes in the basement in advance of some major home remodeling is that I finally dig out my childhood baseball cards. I’ve talked about revisiting my 1970 and 1971 collections; now perhaps I will. Are there on-line versions of the check lists? #cardsky

Oof, gut punch for the Yankees. I loved Soto’s time with the Nats, so I’m glad to see him stay in the NL East.

Going to get a signed copy!

Watching Rudolph tonight, on NBC for the 1st time in 50+ years. First impression - Santa and the other reindeer are really assholes, at least to start.

Join us for Talkin' Baseball on Saturday morning at 9AM, 12/7 when Erik Sherman joins us to discuss his new book "Dewey: Behind the Gold Glove" - should be a good one. Please visit the SABR Events calendar at sabr.org/events for details on how to register for the meeting.

(one of the) Best time of the year!

Throwing out some old stuff…

@bobdavidssabr.bsky.social is up on BlueSky. @brucemcclurenh.bsky.social, can you add to your SABR starter pack?

Dogs I know

Fun time today as National Postal Museum curator Danial Piazza gives a tour to SABR members of the “Baseball: America’s Home Run” exhibit. Bob Davids chapter VP Ed Baranoski, who organized the event, listens intently.

Just finished hosting Melissa Ludtke on the Bob Davids SABR chapter's Saturday morning Talkin' Baseball monthly meeting. Her new book "Locker Room Talk" is a detailed accounting of her successful lawsuit against Bowie Kuhn and MLB.
