Several years ago, the SABR Board of Directors decided to re-name the convention publication as "The National Pastime" (SABR holds the trademark to that title, by the way), and to distribute it to the entire membership, rather than just those who attended the convention. The 2012 convention was held in Minneapolis this past weekend - thus the "Baseball in Minnesota" theme.
Next year's convention will be in Philadelphia, and at the board meeting we held last Wednesday (June 27) we awarded the 2014 convention to Houston. That should answer your question about "when does 'Houston Baseball' get an issue?"
