- 2240 games were assigned.
- 941 articles were completed.
- 353 articles for books were completed.
- 950 games are awaiting publication for a book project.
Len Levin, one of the editors for this project, gave some hint for those writing articles. I think if Len edited Bruce's Journal he would find many errors. :)
The next two events were:
- The SABR business meeting
- Opening remarks by Pittsburgh Pirate President Frank Coonelly
There was a one-hour session on the life and legacy of Roberto Clemente who is revered by baseball fans and Puerto Ricans. There is sentiment for retiring uniform #21 throughout major league baseball.
In the afternoon I attended a talk about the relationship between Branch Rickey and Ralph Kiner when he played for the Pirates. Of course, Kiner is best known in NYC for his broadcasting years for the Mets.
The next talk considered Hank Greenberg's time with the Pirates in 1947.
I went to a meeting of the Baseball Index Project Committee. I am interested in indexing SABR documents for inclusion in baseballindex.org.
The last three talks that attended were:
- Wendell Smith of the Pittsburgh Courier: His Life and Legacy
- The Humidor and the predictive powers of physics
- Injuries in the Stands: MLB responds with extended netting
I went out to dinner with some of the guys from the Games Project.
