Dispatches from the SABR Convention, July 1

July 1, 2017

Kudos to the planning committee; they saved the best (IMHO) for last. (Note: this was written over the course of the day, so bear in mind the timeframe references.) The final full day began with meeting some old friends: Curt Smith, author of several excellent books about the legendary broadcasters of the game (photo below […]

Review roundup, May 27, 2015

Author websites: Boon or bane?

January 20, 2015

One of the things authors are called on to do more and more these days is create a web presence.
