2013 SABR Asian Baseball Committee Meeting
Written by Bill Staples, Jr. and Daigo Fujiwara   
Thursday, 25 July 2013 00:00

2013 SABR Asian Baseball Committee Meeting (Teleconference/Webinar) was held on Wednesday July 24, 2013 at 9 pm EST (8 pm Central, 7 pm Mountain, 6 pm AZ/Pacific). Hosted by SABR ABC Chair Bill Staples, Jr. Many members of the Asian Baseball Committee was unable to attend the SABR's Annual National Convention in Philadelphia. So in lieu of an onsite meeting the committee held its first webinar/ teleconference prior to the conference. We had SABR members from California, Indiana, Massachusetts, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Japan and Korea participate. We hope to keep holding those on-line meetings going forward. 

 
To see the slide deck used for the meeting, you can get a copy from SABR's Asian Baseball Research Committee newsletters page.
