Founder of Baseball-Reference.com to speak in Columbia

The Bob Davids Chapter of SABR is having their monthly Talkin’ Baseball tomorrow morning at 9:00am. The guest speaker for tomorrow’s gathering is Sean Foreman the founder of Baseball-Reference.com.

The monthly gathering of Talkin’ Baseball first started on April 10, 1999 and is going strong almost 13 years later.  To view the list of past speakers click right here.  From what I know of the monthly gathering, usually anywhere from 10 to 30 people normally attend. I have a feeling tomorrow morning’s turnout could be on the high side.

I personally have only attended one of the past Talkin’ Baseball when I was of the 25 people that showed up to listen to Steve Walker the author of the book  A Whole New Ballgame: The 1969 Washington Senators. I enjoyed the talk and was very pleased to meet so many local die-hard baseball fans. I think tomorrow morning I will wake up nice an early and make the 50 mile drive from my home in Poolesville to the meeting location at Brighton Gardens, 7110 Minstrel Way, Columbia, MD. The e-mail I received about tomorrow’s Talkin’ Baseball is said everyone is invited to attend.
