For readers who are not baseball fans, SABR is the Society for American Baseball Research. I joined a few years ago and became the record keeper for the Games Project. Members write summaries of games from the inception of baseball in the 19th century until today. Since I retired, I decided to do more writing for this fine organization.
About a year ago a member wanted to edit a book about significant games in the history of the Mets. I volunteered to write a few games. Today the editor sent back my manuscript for the first Subway Series game played on June 16, 1997. He said he had to be more detailed. Now I have the time to work on it.
Last week I wrote and submitted a report of the infamous "Pine Tar Game" on July 24, 1983. I expect the editor to be tough on me. I guess as I gain experience in this endeavor I will become more proficient.
When I write this blog there is no strict style to follow, but I must adapt to SABR's writing style.
