The Society for American Baseball research is more than just a lot of chatter about baseball history; it’s more than compiling a boatload of statistical day. SABR digs deep into the rich history of the game to share stories about how the game was played. Our amazing work being done across the country reveals new and interesting facts. Here is a list of some of our most recent published work:
SABRcast with Rob Neyer
Rob Neyer, an award-winning author and longtime SABR member, has released his latest podcast — Episode #93 — featuring baseball writer Jason Turbow. The guys discuss the life and legacy of Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda.. Turbow is the best-selling author of three baseball books, They Bled Blue on the 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers; Dynastic, Bombastic, Fantastic on the 1970s Oakland A’s; and The Baseball Codes on the game’s unwritten rules.
