The Negro Leagues Committee also organized a meeting at the hotel with a dozen former players, including Hall of Famer Judy Johnson. Dick Cramer, who helped organize the convention, and Pete Palmer formed a new research committee on statistical analysis that would revolutionize the game.

SABR members were guests of the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Saturday night, as Luis Tiant subdued the Rangers despite two rain delays. SABR established a permanent address for the first time in Cooperstown, New York.

SABR 6: Chicago, Illinois
June 25-27, 1976
Howard Johnson Motor Lodge
Keynote speaker: Lew Fonseca
Ballgame: Mets 10, Cubs 2

  • Forty-five members attended the sixth convention — the second held in the Windy City — at the Howard Johnson Motor Lodge on Lake Shore Drive. Guest speaker was Lew Fonseca, the 1929 American League batting champion and former White Sox manager. Chicago Sun-Times sports writer Eddie Gold showed old highlight films of the Cubs and sports writer Jim Enright spoke at the Friday session. Former Pirates and White Sox infielder Tony Piet also spoke. John Milner’s grand slam off Bill Bonham keyed a six-run fourth inning as Jerry Koosman and the Mets cruised to a victory on Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field. Free tickets were provided to SABR members, courtesy of the Arthur Meyerhoff Associates advertising agency.

Featured speaker: Johnny Bucha
Ballgame: Columbus Clippers 5, Tidewater Tides 4

  • The first convention held in a minor league city, which coincided with the 100th anniversary of Columbus’ first entry in the professional ranks with the Buckeyes of the International Association, was attended by 74 SABR members. Guest speaker at the Friday night “welcoming social” was former Cardinals/Tigers catcher Johnny Bucha, who was a mink farmer in Pennsylvania at the time. Future SABR President Kit Crissey organized a reunion that drew 24 former players — including Johnny Lipon, George Sisler Jr., Jim Fridley, Dick Hoover and Roy Hughes. Some of them later participated in an old-timers’ game umpired by SABR members Al Payson, Troy Soos and Tom Zamorski at the newly refurbished Franklin County Stadium, the first minor league park to have Astroturf.

Billy Martin (NATIONAL BASEBALL HALL OF FAME LIBRARY)SABR 8: Paramus, New Jersey
July 28-30, 1978
Paramus Parkway Holiday Inn
Keynote speaker: Tony Lupien
Ballgame: Yankees 7, Twins 3

  • The eighth annual convention, attended by 81 members, was highlighted by the release of SABR’s groundbreaking Minor League Baseball Stars, the first major compilation of seasonal and career records for players, teams and leagues at that level. Bob Hoie and Ray Nemec spearheaded the effort to get the book ready for publication. Guest speaker was Tony Lupien, the longtime Dartmouth College coach who played with the Red Sox and Phillies during World War II; he gave a “scholarly discourse on player organizations, personnel management and the pension plan.” Kit Cressey organized another players panel, which included Jack Martin, Hinkey Haines, Charlie Hargreaves and Russ Van Atta. An old-timers’ game, narrated by Mel Allen, preceded the Saturday afternoon game at Yankee Stadium. But, as Bob Davids reported, “DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, Ford and Berra all took a back seat when (the recently fired) Billy Martin came on the field to the announcement that he would be back as Manager in 1980.”

Cool Papa Bell (National Baseball Hall of Fame Library)SABR 9: St. Louis, Missouri
June 29-July 1, 1979
Lennox Hotel
Keynote speaker: Mike Shannon
Ballgame: Phillies 6, Cardinals 4

  • For the first time, more than one hundred attendees — 115 to be exact, including 78 members — showed up for the annual convention, thanks in part to the promotion of off-site activities around the city for spouses and children of SABR members. Former Cardinals World Series hero Mike Shannon, already a seven-year veteran of their broadcast team, was the keynote speaker at the banquet. Negro Leagues great James “Cool Papa” Bell became the first of many Hall of Fame inductees to speak at a SABR convention. Former players Andy High of the “Gas House Gang” Cardinals and Buddy Blattner also spoke, along with longtime SABR member Bob Broeg, a St. Louis sports writing legend. At Busch Stadium, SABR members saw Del Unser hit a dramatic game-tying home run with two outs in the ninth as the Phillies won in extra innings.

Travelodge Hotel at Los Angeles International Airport
Keynote speaker: Roy Smalley Jr.
Ballgame: A’s 5, Angels 4

  • Attendance for the 10th annual convention, the first one held on the West Coast, was 85, with 62 of them being active SABR members. Former National League shortstop Roy Smalley Jr. fielded questions about his son, All-Star infielder Roy Smalley III, and his brother-in-law, longtime manager Gene Mauch. A Friday players panel included 1930 Braves rookie sensation Wally Berger; Negro Leagues catcher Quincy Trouppe; Bert Shepard, who lost a leg in World War II and returned to pitch; and American League umpire Joseph Rue. SABR members saw another old-timers’ game, this time at the “Big A” in Anaheim, marking the Angels’ 20th season in the American League. Eleven research presentations were delivered, including one on statistical support in broadcasting by longtime Dodgers statistican Allan Roth, later to be namesake of SABR’s Los Angeles chapter. Meanwhile that summer, in Lawrence, Kansas, Bill James coined the phrase “sabermetrics” to describe the study of statistical analysis in baseball.

SABR 11: Toronto, Ontario
July 24-26, 1981
University of Toronto, Erindale campus
Keynote speaker: None (panel presentation)
Ballgame: None (MLB labor dispute)

  • The first convention held outside the United States drew another record attendance of 147, including 97 members. Preparations for the convention were hampered by the MLB players’ strike and the Canada Post labor dispute, but organizers Bill Humber and Dave Crichton were still able to mail all correspondence to SABR members during business trips to New York. Hall of Famer Early Wynn, then a Blue Jays broadcaster, also canceled his scheduled banquet appearance at the last minute, so the keynote speech became a panel discussion that included former major leaguers Goody Rosen, Phil Marchildon, Roy Hughes and Reno Bertoia. Former Negro Leaguers Gene Benson, Buddy Burbage, Jeep McLain and Sy Morton were joined by novelist John Craig for another panel. Convention attendees were saddened by the May 29 death of SABR member John Tattersall, “the national authority on home runs hit in the majors.” Tattersall’s research on home runs was continued by Bob McConnell and, later, David Vincent. SABR’s Tattersall-McConnell Home Run Encyclopedia has been licensed to Baseball-Reference.com and is publicly available there.

Towson State University
Keynote speaker: Sparky Anderson
Ballgame: Orioles 4, Tigers 1

  • A lively convention saw another explosion in attendance, this time to 227 (including 151 members), “by far the biggest event the Society has participated in during its 11 years,” as Bob Davids reported. Tigers broadcaster Ernie Harwell delivered the invocation at the Saturday banquet and then introduced the main speaker, manager Sparky Anderson, who offered “a testimonial of his … good fortune of going from a .218 hitter to a World Champion manager.” Rex Barney, former Dodgers pitcher and longtime Orioles public-address announcer, also spoke; Dick Beverage, Bob Bluthardt, Dutch Doyle, Cappy Gagnon and Ron Liebman delivered impromptu presentations, while Bill James held a Q&A session. The Friday night panel included former Rangers manager Billy Hunter, SABR member Roy Hughes and Towson State star Al Rubeling. The Orioles generously provided 200 free tickets to Saturday night’s game — No. 24 in Cal Ripken Jr.’s record-setting streak.

Mashuda Hall, Marquette University
Keynote speaker: Hal Goodenough
Ballgame: Brewers 5, Twins 0

  • Hal Goodenough, a boyhood teammate of Mickey Cochrane and former member of the Braves’ front office, was the guest speaker for the 13th annual convention, which set another record with 262 attendees (including 205 members). It was the third straight convention held on a college campus facility. The players panel consisted of Ken Keltner (also a SABR member), Andy Pafko, Mike Hegan, Fabian Gaffke, umpire Stan Landes and Negro Leaguers Lester Lockett and Ted “Double Duty” Radcliffe. A “traditional Milwaukee” tailgate party was held before the Saturday night game, which featured a Moose Haas three-hit shutout over the Twins.

SABR 14: Providence, Rhode Island
July 6-8, 1984
Brown University
Keynote speaker: Lou Gorman
Ballgame: Pawtucket Red Sox 7-3 and 4-2 over Rochester Red Wings (doubleheader); 1884 vintage game

  • The 14th convention, which drew another record crowd of 350 (including 230-plus members), was held in Providence to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 1884 World Series between the Providence Grays and the New York Metropolitans. A symposium on that season was led by Joe Lawler, Dick Waldbauer, Fred Ivor-Campbell, John Husman (great-grandson of John Lee Richmond) and Fred Stinson. Lou Gorman, a Providence native then in his first year as general manager of the Boston Red Sox, was the banquet speaker. The player panel consisted of Clem Labine, Dave Stenhouse, Tony Lupien and Pawtucket Red Sox owner Ben Mondor, who generously offered McCoy Stadium as the venue for SABR’s re-enactment of the 1884 World Series between games of an International League doubleheader. A workshop on writing and publishing was led by Linda Levin and James A. Peterson. The 1884 “vintage game” (right), featuring replica uniforms produced by the Textiles Department at the University of Rhode Island, was delayed by rain and the five innings had to be split up (three innings before the first PawSox game and two-and-a-half before the second PawSox game). The SABR “Mets” got revenge on their real-life World Series defeat by beating the SABR “Grays,” 4-3. But, as Rich “Dixie” Tourangeau recalled, “with all the greatest SABR minds either in the stands or on the field, not one had thought to record a box score of the game … an unforgettable oversight.” This year was the first SABR convention with its own journal, a series of nearly three dozen articles from the Providence Journal from 1875 to 1885 documenting the history of major-league baseball in the city.

The Friday player panel consisted of Philadelphia A’s all-star Sam Chapman, ex-major leaguer Earl Robinson and longtime Oakland Oaks catcher Bill Raimondi. A Saturday presentation by sports writer Leonard Koppett was followed by a sabermetrics panel discussion with Bill James, Allan Roth and Pete Palmer. On Sunday, members saw the A’s defeat the Brewers with SABR providing trivia questions for the Oakland Coliseum scoreboard. Bob McConnell, one of SABR’s 16 founding members, won the inaugural Bob Davids Award, SABR’s highest honor.

SABR 16: Chicago, Illinois
July 17-20, 1986
Loyola University, Lakeshore campus
Keynote speaker: Bill Gleason
Ballgame: Cubs 11, Giants 6

  • The SABR convention’s popularity continued to grow, as a record 479 members and guests attended SABR 16 in Chicago. It was the last national convention held at a college campus using dormitory rooms and cafeteria dining. Bill Gleason, the longtime Chicago Sun-Times columnist, was the banquet speaker on Saturday night following a sweltering ballgame at Wrigley Field in 96-degree heat. Rich Topp reports: “Roland Hemond was willing to give us 500 free tickets to the White Sox game, but a survey of the membership wanted to see the Cubs. So we took a tour of Comiskey Park and Roland gave us 500 free batting helmets instead. The Cubs wouldn’t do tours. So we got ’em back by taking our helmets to the Cubs game. When Harry Caray led the singing in the seventh inning, the TV camera scanned the area of SABR members and we all wore helmets with ‘SOX’ on them.” Chico Carrasquel, John Klippstein, Rich Nye, Ted “Double Duty” Radcliffe (right, shown with Mark Kanter), Marv Rotblatt and Nelson Potter made up the player panel. Local chapter members also put out a 56-page special publication called Baseball in Chicago, with articles celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Cubs-White Sox World Series of 1906. Joe Simenic, another one of the “Cooperstown 16”, won the second Bob Davids Award.

Crystal City Marriott (Arlington, Virginia)
Keynote speaker: John Steadman
Ballgame: National Old-Timers’ Baseball Classic, RFK Stadium

  • The 17th annual convention set an attendance record of 631 that wouldn’t be topped for 15 years. The convention featured more than 15 hours of research presentations, a player panel headlined by Milt Pappas, tours of Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium (the Orioles were out of town) and the Babe Ruth birthplace. The premiere of Eddie Frierson’s award-winning one-man show Matty, written and performed by the longtime SABR member from California (right), was delivered at SABR 17. Longtime Baltimore sports writer John Steadman delivered the banquet speech. SABR members also got front-row seats for the sixth annual old-timers’ game, which featured the newest members of the Baseball Hall of Fame, Catfish Hunter and Billy Williams. Frierson, dressed as Christy Mathewson, pitched batting practice to Joe DiMaggio and Hank Aaron, among others.

June 23-26, 1989
Keynote speaker: Bobby Brown
Ballgame: Albany Yankees 4, Eastern League All-Stars 3

  • SABR’s most tumultous national convention welcomed 524 members and guests. Dr. Bobby Brown, the former Yankees “bonus baby” infielder and the sixth president of the American League, was the banquet speaker. 1950 AL MVP Phil Rizzuto, who would be elected to the Hall of Fame five years later, was also a guest speaker. A group trip was made to the Hall of Fame in nearby Cooperstown and members took in the Eastern League All-Star Game. A political crisis erupted when, during Eight Men Out author Eliot Asinof’s presentation on the Black Sox, member John Holway handed out “8 Men Out” buttons to protest the Board’s recent ousting of Lloyd Johnson after four years as Executive Director. At a wild business meeting, Holway motioned to unseat the entire board (it failed) and withdrew his name as a candidate for president. Rich Topp, nominated from the floor, was elected in a close vote.

SABR 32: Boston, Massachusetts
June 26-30, 2002
Boston Park Plaza Hotel
Keynote speaker: Talkin’ Ted Williams Forum
Ballgame: Braves 4, Red Sox 2

  • Because everyone who sees a game inevitably sees it differently, the record-high total of 712 members and guests attending SABR 32 in Boston were asked to contribute their observations of the Braves-Red Sox game at Fenway Park — this idea culminated in the 2004 publication of The Fenway Project, edited by Bill Nowlin and Cecilia Tan.
