Spring Chapter Meeting Set for May 13
Spring Chapter Meeting Set for May 13 Members are invited to submit a proposal to make a research presentation. The proposal should be made in writing (e-mail is fine) to committee chair Stew Thornley, 1082 Lovell Avenue, Roseville, Minnesota 55113, stew@stewthornley.net, 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 Cary Smith, Tom Swift, Deano Thilgen, and
Dan Levitt) will finalize the schedule of research presentations two weeks before the meeting, so proposals must be made by then.
Research Roundtable The next Roundtable will be Sunday night, March 5 at 6:00 at the Barnes & Noble in the Galleria in Edina. Pete Gorton will talk about the statistical research he has done, and the network of researchers he developed, regarding John Donaldson and his efforts to get Donaldson elected to the Hall of Fame. Pete was also interviewed by Bill Hudson on WCCO-TV on January 10 regarding Donaldson. In other research news, Rod Nelson was named Research Services Manager for SABR. In this position, Rod will be responsible for working closely with SABRs research committee chairs and chapter leaders, as well as individual researchers, to help conceive, plan, and create innovative baseball research opportunities and products. He will also be responsible for making recommendations about what research tools might be created, used, or purchased for use by the membership. The goal is to increase the quality and quantity of baseball research produced by SABR and its members. Rod said that he sees the Halsey Hall Chapters research committee as a model that I'll advocate being implemented by other chapters. I hope that I can identify and provide additional resources for specific research requests from my vantage point in Cleveland. Hot Stove Saturday Morning The next bimonthly meeting is scheduled for Saturday, March 11th, 9:00 a.m. at the same Bakers Square location, exactly one month prior to the Twins home opener.
