Baseball Celebration in Hot Springs
I wanted to let everyone know that we are having our annual Baseball Celebration this Saturday in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
We do this to celebrate the Historic Hot Springs Baseball Trail which features 32 plaques around town at significant sites from the birthplace of Spring Training in 1886.
This year we have a full day starting with a Robinson-Kell SABR Chapter meeting at 10:00 in our Convention Center. This will be followed by panel discussions on history.
At 2:30 we have a panel we are calling WE MADE IT which will feature discussions with local players that actually made the major leagues, some for a short period, others for several years.
At 4:30 we will have a St. Louis Cardinals Celebration panel with Steve Carlton, Ted Simmons, Al Hrabosky and Dick Hughes. Many fans forget Hughes was the leading winner on the 1967 staff at 16-7.
Following each panel the players will be available for autographs, guests will be limited to two autographs per player.
The entire day is free of charge to the public including the autographs. For more information go to visithotsprings.com
