Vancouver Baseball Meeting August 25

For those planning their summers, I thought I'd give first notice of the Vancouver meeting for the Society of American Baseball Research. (http://www.sabr.org)

It's Saturday, August 25, and will be from 2 pm on. The first part of the meeting will take place at Nat Bailey Stadium (newly refurbished), with a bbq to follow at our house. There isn't a class A game that night, but the meeting at the stadium will be the first time we've had it there.

I'm lining up old ballplayers to speak, and anyone is welcome to attend, with no admission charge.

If you're interest in further information, let me know.

Max... It's about time they remodeled that decaying stadium. Hopefully they tossed out the old scoreboard too. Who would want such a barbaric remnant in a city as beautiful as Vancouver... I've heard about these bashes for years, mostly from you & mutual friends. If one of our mutual friends is able to coordinate a "SICK-ly" presentation a few hours south the same weekend, you might see another visitor from California showing up. From what I understand, Canadian law mandates that restaurant service tipping can be no higher than 6% (5% Canadian)..... Southern bash is going on the previous weekend in Oaktown of which you are invited as well...

Don't worry. I will take a crowbar and hammer to the scoreboard if no one else does. After all, what would Joe Schultz say about that?

Best of all, the stadium will now have a sushi bar. Goodbye corn dogs, hello agadahsi tofu and sashimi.
