Proposals must be made in writing (e-mail is fine) to Research Committee Chair Dan Levitt, 2205 Newton Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55405-2431, danrl@attglobal.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 Stew Thornley) will finalize the schedule of research presentations by October 7, two weeks before the meeting, so proposals must be submitted by then.
The ubiquitous Pete Gorton was on the Fox North Sports Twins pre-game show on July 29, the eve of the Hall of Fame induction, to talk about John Donaldson, one of the players considered for induction by the Negro Leagues/pre-Negro Leagues Committee. Pete and the Donaldson network were also the feature of an article on mlb.com by Justice Hill. The article is available by clicking here.
