Spring Chapter Meeting May 3
Members are invited to submit a proposal to make a research presentation at the meeting. Proposals must be made in writing (e-mail is fine) to Research Committee Chair Cary Smith, P.O. Box 271, Spring Park, Minnesota 55384-0271, zinnbeck@aol.com, and should include a title and brief outline of what the presentation will consist of with emphasis on the research that will be included. Standard presentations are 20 minutes (with an additional eight minutes for questions) although the duration may be longer or shorter depending on the needs of the presenter and of the schedule. Generally, up to five presentations may be accommodated, and these will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The Research Committee (which also consists of Tom Swift, Dan Levitt, and Stew Thornley) will finalize the schedule of research presentations by April 19, two weeks before the meeting, so proposals must be submitted by then. Research presentations confirmed at this time are Baseball at Native American Boarding Schools in Minnesota: A History by Dave Laliberte and Hammerin’ Hank, George Almighty and the Say Hey Kid: The Year that Changed Baseball Forever by John Rosengren. There may also be a panel of writers who are participating in the chapter’s project to produce a book on Minnesotans in baseball. Registration for the meeting is $8, which includes lunch. There is also a meeting-only price of $5. Those wanting lunch must RSVP to Howard Luloff at 952-922-5036, hfan77@webtv.net, by April 26. Tickets for the Tigers-Twins game are $21 each. To attend the game, send a check payable to Halsey Hall SABR by April 11 to Howard Luloff, 2509 Princeton Court, St. Louis Park 55416. Other events:
