SABR 50 at 50 celebrates and highlights the Society for American
Baseball Research’s wide-ranging contributions to baseball
history. Established in 1971 in Cooperstown, New York, SABR has
sought to foster and disseminate the research of baseball—with
groundbreaking work from statisticians, historians, and independent
researchers—and has published dozens of articles with
far-reaching and long-lasting impact on the game. Among its current
membership are many Major and Minor League Baseball officials,
broadcasters, and writers as well as numerous former players. The
diversity of SABR members’ interests is reflected in this
fiftieth-anniversary volume—from baseball and the arts to
statistical analysis to the Deadball Era to women in baseball. SABR
50 at 50 includes the most important and influential research
published by members across a multitude of topics, including the
sabermetric work of Dick Cramer, Pete Palmer, and Bill James, along
with Jerry Malloy on the Negro Leagues, Keith Olbermann on why the
shortstop position is number 6, John Thorn and Jules Tygiel on the
untold story behind Jackie Robinson’s signing with the Dodgers,
and Gai Berlage on the Colorado Silver Bullets women’s team in
the 1990s. To provide history and context, each notable research
article is accompanied by a short introduction. As SABR celebrates
fifty years this collection gathers the organization’s most
notable research and baseball history for the serious baseball
reader. Â Â
As Boston's revered Fenway Park hits its 100th anniversary, it's a
good time to look back at the full century of Red Sox baseball
played in the team's home park. Author of more books on the Red Sox
than any other writer, Bill Nowlin has produced another one here.
This is no dumbed-down version of Fenway Park history told in
trivia form. The average reader will easily answer some of the
questions, certainly, but our guess is that the average reader will
feel more frustrated than genius after working his or her way
through these 100 questions for the 100 years. The goal isn't to
give the reader a difficult time, though. It's to provide better
insights into the park and the play on the field. Reading through
this book will hopefully be an educational (and enjoyable)
experience.
