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.

Members and friends of the Asian Baseball Committee (ABC), the leadership of the ABC encourages you to attend the NINE conference in Tempe, Arizona: Wednesday, March 7 to Saturday, March 10, 2012.

The NINE Spring Training Conference is an annual event, hosted by NINE: A Journal of Baseball History & Culture. The journal and the conference seek to promote the study of all historical aspects of baseball andcenter on the cultural implications of the game wherever in the world baseball is played. This year's keynote speaker is Rob Fitts, Japanese Baseball historian, author, and former ABC committee chair. Fitts is leveraging the conference to launch his new book Banzai Babe Ruth: Baseball, Espionage, and Assassination during the 1934 Tour of Japan. Others speaking at the conference is author and historian Bill Staples, Jr., current ABC committee chair, who wrote Kenichi Zenimura, Japanese American Baseball Pioneer. In our recent ABC member survey, many of you expressed an interest in attending an Asian Baseball conference. This is a ideal opportunity to add an Asian Baseball influence to an already great event and to network with our Asian Baseball peers. Conference registration is $205 and includes morning and evening sessions, two Cactus League games, and the Saturday evening banquet. SABR's Seymour Medal award for the best book of baseball history published last year will be presented during Saturday's banquet.

Hope to see you in March 2012 in Tempe, Arizona!
