SABR does not have a "pay for info" policy. This just shows how little you know about this great organization. Without SABR, much what we know about baseball today would still be unknown. As for what your money really does buy, you get the monthly newsletter along with all the great publications, usually 4 per year. You would spend more than that to buy the books at a book store. And just ask anyone that has Deadball Stars of the National League and doubt anyone will tell you they want their money back or are quitting SABR becuase they had to pay for that info.

And, yes, baseball-referrence.com is an incredible site and I sponsor several pages myself, but where do think a lot of the info that they have there came from? They certainly didn't come up with OPS, Runs Creasted, Win Share, Grey Ink, Black Ink and other sabrmetric stats on their own.
