October 2014 Editor:
Members are invited to submit a proposal to make a research presentation at the meeting. 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. So far, three presentations have been scheduled:
During the business meeting, a proposed revision to Article II, Section 2 of the by-laws will be presented to the membership for approval. The section now reads: ARTICLE II: PUBLICATIONS AND WEB SITE The proposed change: Other upcoming activities: The next Fred Souba Hot Stove Saturday Morning, an informal breakfast gathering for the purpose of talking baseball, will be at 9:00 on November 1 at Bakers Square in Richfield (66th Street to the east of York Avenue). Organizer Mark Johnson reports that this will be the 100th breakfast get-together for the chapter.
Erik became a Twins and baseball fan in 1987. My neighbor got me into baseball cards as well, showing off his excellent collection of Ricky Henderson cards. He also gave me my first card (Mike Laga, Cardinals superstar catcher, 1987 Topps). After a stellar Little League career, my love of the game was only more deeply engrained by the less-than-excellent Twins teams of the mid-to-late 90s. Being a broke teenager, being able to go to a game for $4 was the greatest deal in town! I have remained an avid baseball fan through the years and enjoyed Twins baseball, even in the tough years. Erik has always enjoyed the game from a statistical standpoint and in the last few years has been taken by the work of various analysts, such as Bill James, Rob Neyer, and Jonah Keri. Erik shares his September 6 birthday with fellow chapter member Thomas Grandy as well as Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, Pat Meares (a personal favorite of Eriks), Derrek Lee, Greg Olson, Fran Healy, Vince DiMaggio, Urban “Red” Faber, Tommy Thevenow, Mitch Moreland, Hal Jeffcoat, Del Bissonette, Claire Chennault, Marquis de Lafayette, Billy Rose, Alphonso Lunt, Slappsie Maxie Rosenbloom, Jane Addams, and Jane Curtin.
