Below, are the data I used for my research presentation at the SABR National Convention at the J.W. Marriott in Washington, D.C, on July 30, 2009. This year marks the 39th SABR National and my first convention. If you would like a PDF file of my presentation, please let me know via including your email address in a comment to this post.
I wanted to let everyone know that the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s Catholic Review profiled “A Whole New Ballgame: The 1969 Washington Senators” along with five other books written by members of the archdiocese. I guess we might have the beginnings of a Catholic literati!
My long-time friend and devoted Washington baseball fan David Gough penned a brief review of my book “A Whole New Ballgame: The 1969 Washington Senators.” I’m posting it here with a lot of gratefulness. Dave is an author of two fine books himself (“They’ve Stolen Our Team” – a story of the 1960 Senators and “Lil’ Nel” a biography he co-wrote with Jim Bard on Nellie Fox, the ‘69 Senators first base coach and Hall of Fame member). Dave provided inspiration and mentoring for me as I developed the ideas and path for “A Whole New Ballgame.”
