Chapter Meeting on 2/6/16

The Auker-Seminick Chapter will celebrate SABR on 2/6/16.

Jackie Robinson’s birthday was January 31st so our meeting will start off with a tribute to Jackie. George Gedda will take about his days in Brooklyn when Jackie arrived. Gene Brock will tell his story of meeting Jackie as a youngster.

Jim Bard will present his book on Nellie Fox and what it was like growing up in Nellie Fox’s home town and knowing the Hall of Famer.

Skip McAfee, the editor of the Paul Dickinson Baseball Dictionary, will present his paper on the last words of many players. The subject sounds dark but will prove to be entertaining.

As time permits we will have discussion topics including the group’s thoughts on which current players should go into the Hall of Fame.
