Still getting my head around the fact that the team I saw get three-hit by the Diamondbacks at #SABR54 is one of the last four teams standing.

A #CupOfCoffee inspired by recent trip to Cleveland for #SABR54
In late 1965 Lt Ralph Gagliano played a single game for Cleveland. The ensuing winter he was a Viet Nam era draftee of the US Army.
By the time he returned his baseball skills had evaporated.

Three weeks since I participated in the Black Sox panel at SABR54, with author Bruce Allardice and host Jacob Pomrenke. You can listen to the audio here: shorturl.at/6FrSq

Had a great time chatting with my good pal @billtwibh.bsky.social about my poster presentation at #SABR54. We talked about the 400 Professional Win Club, an eclectic group of 16 pitchers from the USA, Japan, Mexico, Cuba, and Puerto Rico.
Just posted a @twibhistory.bsky.social episode, sans Mike, in which I interview @adarowski.bsky.social and @njbaseball.bsky.social about their excellent #SABR54 topics: thisweekinbaseballhistory.libsyn.com/adam-darowsk...

This after I got some good-natured ribbing from a Dodgers fan during the #SABR54 outing at Progressive Field. I was wearing Cubs gear & he had on Dodgers gear; we passed each other in the walkway and he said "Your nightmare's coming on Monday" & I chuckled. Turned out to be LA's nightmare instead. 😄

Did anyone at #SABR54 get R&RHOF swag. I didn't notice until I got home that the tags are basically trading cards.
Does someone know who the latter photo is?

A man (whose name I did not get!) mentioned to me after my talk at #SABR54 that Bob Uecker has a 'lost' book that was supposed to have been published in 1992 called 'Catch .222.' I can confirm that it does exist (Publisher's Weekly, 1/13/92) but it appears that it was never published.

Great write-up. I was at the #SABR54 watch party from opening ceremonies until end of game, and it was so much fun (the camraderie and game itself)! I looked into buying a Boston Hunters cap awhile ago, but no luck. I hope one is available when my family and I go to see a #WPBL game next weekend.

I read the comic as "defending era champ" and was like what the hell is that. It wasn't until I saw the red LL notation bottom right that I realized it was E.R.A.

I loved #SABR54 . Loved the torrid pace, the after hours programming, having the honor of running around with the Chicago crew, having ridiculously long talks with org legends, roaming Progressive Field with @seank138.bsky.social and @billpearch.bsky.social , seeing (cont)
