October 2016 Editor:
Dick Stigman to Speak at October 29 Fall Chapter Meeting [Note: Dick Stigman will be unable to attend; however, former Twins player, manager, and broadcaster Frank Quilici will be the featured guest in his place.] Registration for the meeting is at 8:30 with research presentations beginning at 9:00. Stigman will be on at 1:00. A business meeting will be held during lunch. The cost for the meeting and lunch is $10. The meeting only is $5. Those wanting lunch must RSVP to Howard Luloff, 952-922-5036. Members are invited to submit a proposal to make a research presentation at the meeting (with the understanding they might not know if they’re available until the meeting date is set. Proposals must be sent to Research Committee co-chairs Brenda Himrich or Sarah Johnson and 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. The Research Committee (which also consists of Dan Levitt, Stew Thornley, Rich Arpi, and Bob Tholkes) will finalize the schedule of research presentations two weeks before the meeting, so proposals must be submitted by then. Four research presentations have been approved: 9:15-9:45, Rich Arpi—Baseball at the Minnesota State Prison at Stillwater: The First 50 Years of the Stars, Grays, and Sisal Sox,1915-1964 10:00-10:30, Sarah Johnson—Baseball in France and Its Ties to Minnesota 10:45-11:15, Michael Fallon—How the Dodgers (Inadvertently) Saved Baseball in 1977 11:30-12:00, Peter Gorton—John Donaldson: Restoring the Legacy of Segregated Baseball’s Greatest Left-Handed Pitcher As always, the meeting will conclude with a stimulating trivia contest led by Howard Luloff. What Else? New Date for the Book Club!!!!! The book club will next meet Saturday, October 8 (a week later than originally scheduled) at 9:30 a.m. at the usual spot, Barnes & Noble in Har Mar Mall in Roseville.
