This year as a researcher had highs and lows... My highs I have already celebrated on the board, but my lows....

Apparently SABR does not ask for volunteers! In 2011 I compiled a comprehensive history of the Yakima-Kittitas (Central Washington) Semi-Pro Baseball League (1920-31) including ball fields, records, league champions, team & individual batting averages. However, if I do not pay SABR $X per month or year, they are not interested in the information. My goodness, I would gladly GIVE them the statistics without reservation. It seems they are not interested in the minor league statistics of such players as Roy Johnson 1922-24 (brother of Indian Bob Johnson), Hunky Shaw (1921-31), Lester "Stump" Ferguson (1920 - 25), Leo Fitterer (1926 - 27), and Jimmy Claxton (1926-31).

Anyone at SABR, if you are interested in the info. Contact me via PM.
