I have been a member since 1989 but was also a member in the early 80s before dropping out for a few years.
The amount of information made available electronically is fantastic. Also the ability to reach out to someone for information sharing is great. I live in a state that is not very populated but we still manage to get a group of 10-20 together about three times a year for an afternoon of presentations.
SABR has changed in the past few years to not giving many publications with the membership and I feel that they will all be electronic by next year, for older members like me that is sad because I really looked forward to the 3-4 journals and books that were sent out each year.
I would also consider becoming a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, great yearbook and you get six issues of Memories and Dreams which is a really nice magazine.
Just my 2 cents worth.
