SABR Members Make Pilgrimage to Hot Springs
Word has it that Deadball Era Committee attendees of the Boiling Out II had another spectacular time in Hot Springs, Arkansas on March 19-21, 2004. Attendees included Steve Constantelos, Jon Dunkle, Mike Dugan, Jan Finkel, Eddie Frierson, Rich Klein, R. J. Lesch, Madison McEntire, Tom Simon, Richard Smiley, Trey Strecker, Stew Thornley, and Josh Drake.
According to attendees, research presentations at the Arlington hotel couldn’t have been more "deadballish," focusing on base stealing (Constantelos), players who refused to play on Sunday (Dunkle), the 1903 Chicago City Series (Smiley), baseball players on the Vaudeville stage (Lesch), and Deadball era baseball fiction (Strecker).
On Friday they enjoyed a tour of Hot Springs spring training sites of the past, and on Saturday attended both "Matty" (performed by Frierson) and the horse races at Oaklawn. Look for more details to follow in an upcoming issue of The Inside Game which will be uploaded to http://world.std.com/~pgw/Deadball/tig.html). To top everything off, Arkansas hosts are starting their own regional chapter, to be named after Little Rock native Brooks Robinson.
