Tom Quinlan to Speak at Fall Chapter Meeting
The chapter meeting will be at the Grace University Lutheran Church, 324 Harvard Street SE, Minneapolis, 612-331-0125. Parking is in lot AA, across Harvard Street from the church. Registration begins at 8:30 with the opening ceremonies at 9:00. Tom Quinlan will be on next, followed by research presentations, which will take place before and after lunch. So far, three research presentations have been scheduled: Dan Levitt on the business side of the Federal League, Bob Tholkes on the New York Sunday Mercury, and John Bonnes with “Baseball’s Blogosphere,” on the role of blogs and new media in baseball reporting. Howard Luloff will conduct his always-popular Jeopardy-style baseball quiz around 2:30. Attendees can head over to the Kevin Hennessy home (608 Grand Avenue, St. Paul 55102, 651-651-492-2298) after the meeting to watch the playoffs on television. Other 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 Rich Arpi, 2445 Londin Lane East, Unit 410, Maplewood 55119-5547, 651-739-6986, rich.arpi@comcast.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 Tom Swift, Dan Levitt, Bob Tholkes, Cary Smith, and Stew Thornley) will finalize the schedule of research presentations by October 3, two weeks before the meeting, so proposals must be submitted by then. The cost of the meeting is $8 with lunch and $5 without lunch. Please RSVP to Events Chair Howard Luloff at 952-922-5036, hfan77@webtv.net, by October 10.
Mike will examine the determinants of wages in professional baseball for both men and women, creating a measurement of a wage gap and calculating the degree to which this wage gap is discriminatory. He hopes that this research will add to our knowledge of the business operations of professional baseball, provide a first look at the business of the All -American Girls Professional Baseball League, and deepen understanding of gender differences in wages. In other news, a number of chapter members attended the SABR convention in Washington, D. C., at the end of July. Next year&146;s convention will be in Atlanta. The 2011 convention was awarded to the Los Angeles area. The Halsey Hall Chapter hoped to have Minneapolis selected as the 2011 site, but the chapter will remain a strong contender to host the 2012 convention.
