SABR Publication



The Society for American Baseball Research or SABR is an organization dedicated to preserving baseball history. It is a great organization with lots of interesting baseball links. As a member you get about 4 publications each year. Some are interesting and some are a bit deep. The latest book was received last week and I think it is a great quirky read. Pete Rose had 15,890 plate appearances, Barry Bonds has 645 intentional walks the next is Henry Aaron at 293, Frank Fernandez had more walks than hits (for a non-pitcher), Joe DiMaggio had a 369 career Ks and 361 HR (WOW!), there is a Triple Crown Losers (i.e. finished last in Ave, HR, and RBI...Ramon Sanitago in 2003), Cy Young started 815 games (and completed 749 of them!)...Good Stuff
